[TenTec] Orion II T/R Relay Noise Reduction Ideas?

["fraz1" <fraz1@bellsouth.net>]

Hi Folks....

No, my relay noise is NOT loud......at all.

But, I'm spoiled.  My first original Orion was perfectly quiet in QSK mode.  I 
could place my ear on the top cover and nothing, nada.

I have had two Orion II's and both have an audible relay click when using QSK.  
It is not annoying or loud, but I'd like to improve on it, if reasonably 
possible.

The same T/R relay has been used in both Orion models.  It is made exclusively 
for TT by US Relays and Technology Inc.  It is tubular and hard wired to the 
rear PCB.  TT claims no change has been made in the relay or mounting method.

Has anyone played with this, and been successful?  If so, please share your 
method.

Thanks, and 73..........John W4II
