| Note: The only truly acceptable 9MHz i.f. output is from the Clifton Labs/VE7TK mod. The 9MHz i.f. output from the RX366 subreceiver does NOT work well. Many late Orion II's were supplied by the factory with this output wired to the SPARE connector unfortunately. | Note: The only truly acceptable 9MHz i.f. output is from the Clifton Labs/VE7TK mod.
