[TenTec] Cooling the Orion

[Thomas Uhlman]

Speaking of Orion irregularities, has anyone noticed this issue:

Set both receivers to the same band and same antennas....

Enable the 20 kHz filter...

Tune in a signal on the sub-receiver....

Set the main receiver 14 kHz ABOVE the subreceiver frequency.....

Do you receive the same signal on both receivers??
