[TenTec] Orion II tone at 7030, 14030

[K3GHH]

Thank you, everyone... it's reassuring to know this is not common to 
Orions, and if I'd been smart enough to pursue Andy's suggestion to test 
with no antenna, I would have known the problem is not even internal to 
MY Orion and saved the list some trouble.

It seems clear that there's some low-power RF source around here. These 
days, of course, it could be just about anything, but I am grateful to 
Rod for suggesting the wireless router. I never would have thought of that.
