SAme setup and yes the Tuner is last in the setupo
Just seems strange ---
wonder if you have set-up something a little diff on
your options within the Orion ?
other than that the Orion is a nice rig --Hsd mine
for one year now.
Going to KNoxville, Tn in July so might get a chance
to go to TenTec for a visit..
The arb is a little unit to save the front end of
transceiver from spikes or voltage..
