[Orion] Orion Mike plug

[W9GE]

I use both a bm-10 and an older pro set with my Orion on the rare occassion
I am on ssb.  No mods and no troubles.  If it ever acts up I will of course
do the mod.  Takes all of ten minutes, but why if no problems.  You will
absolutely love the Orion in crowded band contest condx.  73 bob de w9ge
