[TenTec] Recording audio from Orion II

Easy... just turn the mic monitor on so that what you speak plays 
through the headphones, and also so does the receiver, and then run it 
to a line-input (not microphone input) on your computer sound card.  If 
it is too HOT a signal - make a L-pad attenuator with a pair of 
resistors or get an attenuator adapter, cable or whatever, and there are 
also small little boxes, like the size of a guitar man's DI box, that 
can match it... you could even use a simple isolation transformer if 
there is any buzzing, but probably won't be as most sound cards are 
robust in that sort of self protection, and then you will have both 
receiver and transmit audio on one line.

You can still use the headphones if you use a Y adapter.   You can 
probably us the speaker out jack, also, but then an attenuator or a very 
robust sound card line-in input will be the order of the day.

Works for me.
