[TenTec] Orion Backup Battery

[Alan Sewell N5NA]

Rick,

Which battery did you end up ordering?  Do you have the Digi part 
number?  I'd like to include that info in the TenTecWiki.

73,

I'm just not sure which version is used in the Orion the 48 mAh or 120 mAh (T-T didn't specify).  It looks like both will plug into the same socket the only difference is height with the 120 slightly thicker.
