[TenTec] Using the 302R remote keypad with the Orion

[Carl Moreschi]

Look at the layout of the number pad between the 302 and the Orion.  You
will see on the Orion that number 1 is in the upper left.  On the 302 you
will see that number 1 is the lower left.  So, on both the Orion and the
302, number 1 is 160m and number 7 is 15m.  And yes, geographically, the 2
number pads are flipped over.
