[TenTec] Upper Case postings and coloring the black lettering on the Orion

[Gene Story]

Ditto.  I use the fine tip Metallic Silver Sharpie pen's to do the  
same.  And I used it on my Orion to accent the otherwise nearly  
impossible to see black-relief characters for POWER, MIC, PH, CW, and  
vfo A and B.

You need a steady hand and use a new one of these markers to have a  
good fine tip but if you boo-boo, it can be cleaned up.  Done  
carefully, it will look like it was factory done.

I contemplated doing this for a long time.  But I have done this  
before and always liked the results.  Even though the position of  
everything becomes second nature in a short time, I am pleased with  
ultimately making these highlights on my Orions front panel.
