[TenTec] Orion II tone at 7030, 14030

[K3GHH]

FYI to the list: At the suggestion of Andy W3LI I disconnected the coax 
at the Orion's antenna terminal. No tone. Connecting the antenna 
directly to the Orion (without the usual stuff in between, tuner and 
switch) got the tone again. I guess that suggests it's something unique 
to my station. This isn't a huge deal but sometimes in contests it makes 
copying someone difficult.
