[TenTec] Adding antenna tuner to Orion II later

[Paul Gates, KD3JF]

I have a tuner in my Elecraft K1 and KX1 but have an outboard tuner for my TenTec Triton IV and Icome 706. Usually the inboard tuners are not as good as an outboard tuner.... Incidently I do have a outboard tuner for QRP radios that Elecraft sells. It is good for up to 20 watts and works very good.

straightforward. I still have that tuner, BTW, in an O II that got 
damaged by lightning. I'm not sure how to check the tuner to see if 
it's still functional. Any ideas?
