[TenTec] Orion Aux Audio Outputs

Ok, I'm confused.

According to the manual, the left side output in AUX I/O corresponds to 
the setting for "left" in the audio menu.  Similar for the "right".

K4IA had audio outputs (left/right) selected for "BOTH", or I think that's 
what he said, and these are LINE outputs ( 0dBm into 600 ohms) per the 
manual, unaffected by audio gain settings.  So he was getting "both" 
main and sub receivers in the left  ... aux pin 4 no doubt, if he was using 
the supplied AUX I/O interface cable.

By assigning LEFT-> MAIN he accomplished what the manual said 
should have been accomplished .. that is, getting the subreceiver out of 
the LEFT channel.

Now perhaps it doesn't work that way, and I don't have an 8-pin aux I/O 
connector wired to test it.  Perhaps someone does?

But based on the result, it appears to work as advertised.

Or am I missing something ...
