[TenTec] Orion II 8 Pin DIN

[Kim Elmore]

I see that the only way to do true FSK with the Orion requires an 8 
pin DIN plug.  That's OK, except that the plug supplied looks a bit 
odd because the 8th pin is centered in the seven-pin 270 deg 
arc.  This is different yet from the odd-ball 262 deg 8 pin DIN plugs 
used by Kenwood and Yeasu (I have one of those for reference). Every 
other 8-pin DIN plug I've seen is offset slightly towards the open 
part of the 7 pin arc and this is what I see in the manual's 
pictorial. I admit that I haven't pulled the rig out to actually look 
at the back. Still, did I get a screwball plug or will I need a 
screwball plug? If I need one, where do I get it?
