[TenTec] Orion II

Yes but based upon others comments (I think) it's a pain.  I suggest having
TenTec do the job. I only used it once and it worked great.  I've been
successful in getting good matches to my antennas and haven't had need to
use it.

I use the Heil PR-40 and consider it the best mic I've ever used.

No the optional fan is not necessary but when I ordered mine I thought the
additional expense minimal.  I'm glad I had it included in my purchase.

All in all, I'm very satisfied with the OII.  Know you will enjoy it.

Regards,

Kirk, K6KAR
Niceville, FL

>  Hi to the list,
  Continuing with the intention to buy a Orion II I have some more
questions: 
-Is possible to install the Antenna tuner later? 
-What microphone goes well with it for SSB? 
-Is necessary the optional Fan ?
_ what are your opinion about the matching speaker?

Thanks,
Francisco lu3eec
