I have a full button kit, but it's devoid of a button for talkaround.
Anyone have one that says "DIR" or "T/A" or similar?
Talkaround button for Orion control head?

The serial bus on my Orion is working for it's money.

Orion keycaps
I've made my own custom labels over the years, print the text/symbol you want on a label maker with clear tape, black print - but reversed so the background is black and the writing remains clear. Put the label on a blank keycap and trim with a scapel or x-acto knife and pop it on the radio. Looks virtually identical to an original and the backlighting lights it up great.
