[TenTec] AMP driveOrion II versus Icom Pro II

[Michael W Elliott]

SAme setup  and yes the Tuner is last in the setupo

Just seems strange ---

wonder if you have set-up something a little diff on
your options within the Orion ?

other than that the Orion is a nice rig --Hsd  mine
for one year now.

Going to KNoxville, Tn in July so might get a chance
to  go to TenTec for a visit..

The arb is a little unit to save the front end of
transceiver from spikes or voltage..
