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.
