Hi to All,
After reading the online Orion manual I have some remaining questions. I
considered asking Ten-Tec on the telephone, but though that others on this
list might also be interested. So, fortunate present Orion owners:
1) Does the 13.8 Volt power on pin 13 of the two Band Data Connectors
alternate between the two connectors depending upon whether ANT 1 or ANT 2
is active? Or is power on at both continuously?
2) Am I correct in assuming that on the Band Data Connectors, the band
pins act as the return to ground for an external relay used for
switching? Therefore I could connect (for instance) a relay return to the
three pins for 10, 15, AND 20 meters at the same time and the Orion would
operate the relay to activate my tri-band antenna any time that connector
was active on any of those three bands?
3) I would be interested in suggested stereo headphones. I don't need
noise cancelling or even muffs to exclude noise. All I want is good sounds
and comfort for long periods.
Thanks.
