Sorry, I may have mixed conversations with other Ten Tec people into the
information from Scott. I have been told that the main receiver will use
both crystal and DSP filtering. But, all of the speculation is useless,
because I am sure there will be several design changes before release. I
will be talking to some Ten Tec folks at a hamfest Saturday and will get a
definitive answer.

I didn't get the impression at all that the main Orion
RX is going to be crystal filter based, at least not
in the sense that the Omni VI et al have been.
