[TenTec] K2/100, Orion review

>3.  SNIP  This could also have to
do with the shaped CW elements Orion uses described
below.  This may make the elements sound lighter to
my ear since the Rise/Fall time is probably shorter.

        That didn't come out right.  What I mean is that
the Rise/Fall portion of the waveform may be longer
than with previous radios, making the fully ON portion
of the waveform shorter for a given total element length
which is determined by keying speed.  This would make
the element sound lighter since the fully ON portion of
the waveform is shorter than radios with faster (and
therefore clicking) rise and fall times.

	Sorry if I confused anyone!
