Re: [TenTec] Hi Cut / Lo Cut - Orion

[Ulrich Hilsinger <dh0ghu@dh0ghu.de>]

Hello,

Sinisa, you are absolutely right. Me too, in CW, I normally use RIT - 
but sometimes also Cutting, but that's only due to the fact that I've 
only a 500 Hz filter in my TS850 - not sufficient at all for CQWWDX-CW 
and similar situations...

If it is a marketing trick, its a usefull one: It only costs a few cents 
(if, at all), but satisfies both, people used to use High/Low Cut, and 
people used to use PBT. The processor does not care if he has to 
calculate new filter coefficients from PBT/BW or from High/Low Cut :-)

At least, it is a PRO-ORION argument for me (being in the decission 
process of buying or not....) that it can be used in the way I am used 
to use my transceiver....


73,
Ulrich dh0ghu
