To Bob and anyone else who wants to comment.

I have an Orion-1 that works fine and it has an internal antenna tuner.  At
one point 3 or 4 years ago the tuner stopped working.  TenTec told me to
change the battery in the tuner circuit but this made no difference and the
tuner still didn't work.  I did the A9 board mod and also the Molex power
cord mod but this made no difference to the tuner.

A year or so ago I purchased an Orion-2 and started using it and put the
Orion-1 back in its box and put it in the attic.

A couple of months ago I took the Orion-2 off-line to replace the A9 board
capacitors and to also remove the Molex power cord socket.  I put the
Orion-1 back on line and it worked fine, and the tuner now worked.  However,
after a few weeks the tuner again stopped working.

The tuner itself may be fine and the problem might simply with whatever
signal source is activating it.

Does anyone on the list have any ideas about this?

  There are several very active discussion groups found under Tentec on 
the GROUPS.IO sites.    If looking for information regarding upgrades, 
firmware, history and such relating to Tentec, these are good places to 
look.

In spite of what many say and have said...........Tentec business is 
alive and well.  They are building commercial products, repairing ham 
radios and offering some accessory items on the Tentec.COM website.  
However, there are no ham radios in production or for sale at this time.

And if I can assist, I'm always glad to do so.
