[TenTec] Orion II tone at 7030, 14030

[k8mp at aol.com]

I hear several around 14030 at my place.
<span style="font-size: 16px;">Wired routers can cause it too.

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.
