Gentlemen:
Just read Ten-Tec's writeup on their new Orion transceiver. (tnx W4GD).
With crystal & dsp IF filtering, adjustable rise/decay key-click control and
several improvements that optimize 160m operation, I will have to take a
hands-on look at it, if it shows up at Dayton. Ten-Tec has always paid
attention to processor phase noise control & they mention even more
improvement in this category.
I presently have a FT1000-mp with 125 hz IF filter and am pretty happy with
it on 160m. But prior discussions on this reflector have been pointing out
the improvements that topbanders need in a rig.............and it looks
like, just mebbe, one manufacturer is paying attention.
