[TenTec] LP-Pan 2 on Orion 2

In m opinion, it is much better to just use a separate SDR receiver such 
as SDRplay and have that run in parallel with the Orion.  I have worked 
out excellent ways to share antenna connections between the Orion and 
SDR receivers.

This method has none of the IF problems and even allows for the SDR 
receiver panadapter display to always follow the transmit frequency 
instead of the receive frequency.
