Between the lessons learned from the design of both the low-noise Kachina 
505DSP and Ten-Tec RX-340 DSP products, I think we're
going to find a new level of low-noise synthesizer in the Orion.  If the Orion 
can match the RX-340 in this performance
area...consider it a non-issue, even up to 30 MHz.
