Look at the layout of the number pad between the 302 and the Orion. You
will see on the Orion that number 1 is in the upper left. On the 302 you
will see that number 1 is the lower left. So, on both the Orion and the
302, number 1 is 160m and number 7 is 15m. And yes, geographically, the 2
number pads are flipped over.
