[TenTec] Orion II AM Mic Adjustment

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

The Heath SB-610 or older HO-10 do the job nicely and accurately and for 
about 1/2 the price of these boxes.  And of course should your test 
equipment cache have a general purpose o'scope then you have all you need. 
The next challenge is to learn what it is displaying and what it means.
