Was playing with trying to record the Orion 566 audio output using the "LINE OUTPUT" fed into my laptop LINE IN (or microphone input too ). Tried all 3 level settings for line out - and tried setting it for just MAIN or SUB or BOTH. But I am getting a digital pulsing "noise" about every sec that seems to be some sort of polling riding on the audio.

Have not tried a isolation xformer yet just direcdt wired with shielded cable.

Any ideas/comments from Orion users ?

Thanks _ Hank K7HP

Be aware that there's a 5V DC component on the LineOut pin, which you'll need to block (use a 400nF cap or greater), this is an undocumented "feature" of both the 565 and 566 Orions - confirmed by TT-technical dep. but not published by them, which is a shame, many users have been thrown by this.
