Re: [TenTec] ORION_ANTENNA_SWITCHING

Geoffrey;
You are almost correct. I like to use "ant-1" for my 160-30 meter operation 
at 100 watts that uses a MFJ-993 automatic 300 watt tuner to a MFJ-1704 4 
port coax switch. If I want to make more smoke on these bands I switch the 
Orion to ANT-2 where that line runs to the amp then to a manual Dentron 
MT-3000A tuner. This way I have the 100 watt or 1000 watt options.
All I want to do is replace the Dentron tuner with the LDG-1000 but the LDG 
only has one output where the Dentron has 4.
I am still looking at various options but for now it a hand controlled 2 
port coax switch at the output of the LDG!!!
I had wanted the Orion to control a old AM Dow-Key coax switch on the output 
of the LDG but ran into trouble when I found out that it hung up by the 
Orion. This coax switch would direct the LDG to either my beam or the one of 
the wire antennas hanging off the MFJ 4 port coax switch.
I'm just lazy I guess but I thought the Orion would have been ore flexible 
that it turned out to be in the "band data" respect and it's operation.
Thanks.
George
