Hello Mike, 

If you look at the picture on the website with the labels showing cable 4, 
5, 6, 13; or picture T in the manual, you might notice a TMP connector that 
is right next to the left post holding the filter cover on. There is a 
screw through the filter cover, that screws into a post. Right next to that 
post is a TMP connector. Right next to the F2 text. I believe it is marked 
as connector # 15 in the drawing. I am in Orlando at Hamcation, so all I 
have to go by is the picture. 

That is the 9MHz IF Output. All you need is a cable with two TMP male 
connectors on the ends. One goes to this connection, and the other goes to 
the a TMP on the back panel connector board. 
If you look at Picture I, you will notice the back panel connector board is 
vertical, and you will see a row of 3 TMP connectors on it. Two have 
something already inserted, and the closest to the bottom of the picture 
doesn't have anything in it. Plug the other end of the TMP connector going 
to the 9MHz IF connector of the RX366 TXRX board cnx 15, to this one. 

This connector is linked to the SPARE RCA jack connector on the back of the 
Orion 565 and Orion II 566. 
Then, all you need is a cable with an RCA connector on one end, and a BNC 
on the other to go to the LP-PAN (or whatever you use.) 

We are in the process of updating the manual, and will have this outlined 
there as well. 

Thanks for the interest, 
John Henry 


I was perusing the RX366 Installation and Operation Manual (74467 Rx366 
V1.4 1-18-12 Instructions.pdf) on the Ten-Tec website, and couldn't find 
mention of the IF output. Was I simply unable to find mention of the IF 
output, or was it overlooked by the author? Is the connector that is 
cryptically labeled "Your text here" the IF output? What is the 
recommendation for bringing the IF outside the enclosure? 

Thanks,
