Hi Scott,

My point - which seems to have been missed by many posters - was that
ownership was not a precondition to understanding some technical subject.
My further point was that Ten Tec employees, who obviously understand these
subjects better than almost any of us, don't have to actually own an Orion
to understand it.  I think in fact that this point was purposely
misunderstood by some posters for the sake of effect.  Oh well.

So Scott - now that we know you are listening :)   How 'bout a comment on
the method used in the NR system ?

Some like the Omni 6 Plus and various other rigs,  and one at least
homebrews his transmitter and receiver.
