I don't "claim" anything -- I thought I had heard that the Orion has a balanced 
input. 
Perhaps I heard wrong (or remembered wrong). I offered my professional advice 
(I 
work in pro audio with balanced lines) to help someone figure out an audio 
problem. 
Yet, when I mentioned last month

Balanced audio is is a good thing, but not a big deal for ham gear. And 
virtually every  
ham rig I've ever seen has unbalanced inputs and outputs. If they are wired 
correctly, 
both internally and externally, unbalanced ins and outs work fine as long as 
the wiring 
is short and there's not a lot of RF in the shack. The important thing is that 
you 
understand what you have and wire it correctly.
