Re: [TenTec] Help please , Orion with Alpha 91B

Alan,

It really couldn't be simpler because the 87A has lightening fast T/R 
switching.  I just connect a straight through RCA to RCA plug cable from 
tha Orion Amp Key 1 socket to the relay socket on the 87A.  That's all 
you need. It works like a dream.  Don't loop connect the 87A, if you do 
it's awful!
