[TenTec] Orion AUX out audio question

[Tommy]

Naw..there is no incentives one gets from doing beta testing. You 
just do it because you wanna try to help out. BTW, anyone with an 
Orion can ask to  become a firmware beta tester...just apply through 
ditsnbits. Does require some extra work, but in the long run should 
be worthwhile for everyone.
