[TenTec] Start up issue with Orion 2

[Bernie Skoch]

Barry,
I think your diagnosis is correct based on what you posted.  It's consistent with the symptoms I experienced (and remedied with the A9 board fix).
(I assume you have verified that the rig is connected to a good source of 13.8VDC.)
Keep us posted.
Bernie

Subject: [TenTec] Start up issue with Orion 2

Within the last few days, my O2 has had audio issues when first switched on.

What happens is that a low level of continuous clicking occurs either from
the headphones or loudspeaker, whichever is connected. The rig may then
boot up normally after a few seconds or it might not.

Switching it off and on again seems to overcome the problem.

I am guessing that the issue might be the power board capacitor problem.

I do have a full set of new capacitors ready to install but before I
undertake the surgery, I wonder if anyone can either confirm my diagnosis
or suggest that something else might be the cause.

Thanks in advance and 73
