[TenTec] [TTBUG] Odd sound coming from my Orion 565

[pa1ap]

Besides the standard battery replacement answer I recall similar happening to me a couple of years ago. Turning the vfo knob and relais  were clicking for each step. I fail to recall the root cause unfortunately. Hope it comes back soon:-) .

I don't recall if you have 565? Seems leaving 565 alone for too long results in loud protest:-) DC board, logic board connector, backup battery, DC power connector are part of the revenge tricks....especially with strong season changes.

Ratatat-tat -- the sound (for those old enough to remember) of a baseball card hitting the spokes of your bicycle wheel. Not the heavy/clunky sound of an amplifier relay.
