Re: [TenTec] Orion relay

Len - FWIW -  I finally got tired of listening to my  relay boing on break - 
tore the Orion apart and replaced the relay  (TT had sent me a replacement 
relay) - I can no longer hear it unless I put my ear right down by the rear 
of the Orion. Took two hours start to finish including firing it up with 
covers off to be sure all was still OK. Turned out I could replace it from 
top of the board and did not have to unsolder the SO239 to get at the two 
legs. Took a little judicious use of solder sippers and solder wick but sure 
beat unsoldering the connector . Point is there is a heck of a lot of 
difference in different relays noise level.
