[TenTec] Low battery symptoms

[Robert Mcgraw]

Certainly those are good suggestions.  Try them first.    Historically
the earlier Orion's did/have experienced some capacitor issues related to
the power distribution board.  Might want to speak with Paul at Tentec
regarding the matter.  Otherwise, if the caps have not been replaced, I
suggest voltage measurements and thus finding the problem, replace the
caps with the same values but choose the 105 degree C rated units.
