VS: [TenTec] Orion and MIKEs

[Josh Kelly]

Yep, this caused a real problem for me and W2IHY.  I wanted to try my W2IHY
8 band Eq. but the

regular TenTec 4 pin adaptor will not key the Orion.  W2IHY is making me a
special adaptor for

this.  Don't pay any atention to the pin in the book.  DXUPON all es 73
