The idea is as follows: (I have not removed the covers of my Orion to check
this out)
remove the coax that currently goes to the input of the RX board. Connect
this coax to the spare connector on the rear panel that is used for the LP-Pan
mod.
Then run a new coax from the now-vacant input of the RX board to the RX antenna
jack on the rear panel.
This should retain ALL protection that currently exists to the receiver.
In my experience with my Omni VI's and earlier looking at my Orions, the spare
DC jacks are directly soldered to the PCB which makes modification much more
difficult than plugging the coax into to connector Ten-Tec provides for the
spare connector on the rear panel. Ten-Tec sells
the mini-coax for use in the LP-Pan mod, as does Inrad.
