[TenTec] Orion and PSK - overdriving computer

[WA3FIY]

Sounds like you might have the Orion line out connected to the 
Soundcard MIC input.  If that is the case, you would indeed 
overdive the soundcard.  Connect to soundcard line input if it is 
not already there.  If you cannot connect to line in for some 
reason, you will have to attenuate the Orion signal by a factor 
of 100 more or less.   A 100K/1k voltage divider would do the 
trick.
