[TenTec] Orion II tone at 7030, 14030

[Michael Tortorella]

Up in Maine I hear lots of junk around 14030 and 21030 on my Eagle and an
FT-890.  Traced it back to a wireless router in the same room.  Maybe try
turning off your wireless router, see if that's it.

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.
