[TenTec] recommendation for panadaptor for Orion

[Michael Tortorella]

My thanks to Barry, Bob, and Carl for helping me sort out the panadaptor
options for my Orion. I finally got some radials down yesterday for the new
vertical so we are getting closer to getting back on the air and needing the
panadaptor. I plan to pull the covers off the Orion and check the backup
battery and the A9 board caps before firing it up again after a 2-year
hiatus.

BTW, I made a mistake when I said I have an SDR-Play. What I actually have
is an RTL-SDR, I don't know if this make a lot of difference but this at
least corrects the error.

Thanks again and 73, Mike W2IY

Screenshot from a several years back using VE7TK IF output mod on Orion and
LP-PAN:  shorturl.at/swMQR
Screenshot from a several years back using similar IF output mod on Omni6
and RSP-1: shorturl.at/aes37  and  shorturl.at/eqxES

Just sharing these to give an idea on what kind of bandwidth you might
expect using this method.
