[TenTec] Orion sub receiver getting no signals

[mcelmer1]

Years ago, I recall seeing a detailed block diagram of the Orion 1 - I am 
not referring to the one in the manual.

There is a simple circuit called the "audio switch" which I suspect is the 
culprit.

However, I can not find the diagram nor can I recall on which board this 
circuit was located.

Gary, I will keep your mail/address just in case.

I have a sub receiver available.
