Yeah.. I just thought it was an odd way to state it the way
they did.. to me.. it almost conveyed the thought... " hey
we appreciate getting your 40 bucks but you probably don't
need this thing.. just unplug it if the noise bothers you"
I have 68 year old ears.. but to me, it is very quiet...
Congrats on the Orion.. I am still recovering from a new roof
installation ($5000+) so I will have to struggle along with
my Jupiter for a while.
Bill, W6WLB
PS: I did check you out in QRZ Bill, to see if you were a
neighbor.. Your new call is similar to mine.. except I went
for the initials instead of a form of my name..
