[TenTec] Centering Orion II Roofing Filters

[Gary Harwell]

Elecraft makes a XG1 Receiver Test Oscillator which puts out a 1 uV and 50 
uV test signal on 7040 KHz. The little oscillator is not very expensive and 
is an excellent stable signal source for adjusting the roofing filters on 
the Orion. They should be available directly from Elecraft.
