Excellent video. I used it to change my O2's battery....it helped a LOT, Thank You !!! BTW, I used STmicroelectronics M4T32-BR12SH1 battery instead of the original M4T28-BR12SH1 battery which was originally in my O2. The M4T32 is very slightly larger and has exactly the same pin-out....fits and works perfectly....no mods at all. The difference between the two is capacity: the M4T28-BR12SH has 48 mAh, the M4T32-BR12SH has 120 mAh. Price difference was just a few dollars. I'm hoping the larger capacity gives the M4T32 a longer battery life. However, it seems from the spec sheet that heat might be a more significant controlling battery life factor...the graphs in the spec sheet seem to suggest that...time will tell. From the spec sheet---"Data retention lifetimes typically range from 8.6 years (at 30 °C) for devices in the CAPHAT™ package, with a 48 mAh battery, and up to 20 years (and more) for the SNAPHAT package with a 120 mAh battery. As always, several factors affect battery lifetime, including the Vcc duty cycle and temperature." (DOCIDO13125) Rev 4 www.st.com

Iv had a few ten-tec 8n my time and always fancied the Orion 2. Are they reliable as iv heard some horror stories about screen failures leaving the radio as expensive brick..
