It could have been worse....you could have hooked up a linearfrom 
another station  to the antenna input on the OII, and tested that radio 
out..
That woud hurt!

Thanks for the warning but that's one of many mistakes I already made. 
I was
moving some things around and the PTT switch on the regal mic got 
pushed up into
the talk position. It was connected to a 6N2 and when I turned it on 
the rig
came up in transmit. Many thanks to Gary Green at Ten-Tec for gently 
explaining
my error.

I re-configured my station.  I added some new gear and when you have 18
operating positions all with linears it is a major task.  One position 
has an
ORION ll.  When checking all positions I discovered a problem with the 
ORION ll.

It would power up ok and I heard RX noise but not stations.  Checked 
all bands
nothing. I used another radio in the shack, but ORION could not hear 
the radio
next to it! Well, before boxing it up I thought I would give the 
transmit a try.

When I grabbed the push to talk button on the mic I found the PTT 
switch was
now.  I pushed it off, but still nothing no signals just noise.  Well, 
I figured

I would cycle the power and when I did the ORION was back to life!  How 
the PTT
was on I do not know.  I just thought I would pass this along.

George, W6GF
