[TenTec] Orion--K2--706 & SSB

KD7EFQ> Not that the Omni is bad, it's just communications grade audio.
The fuller and richer the audio (While staying 2.8Kc's wide or less, not
3-4kc's wide like the Wi-Fi SSB spectrum hogs) the easier it is for me to
understand the weak ones.

SSB speech should be DISTORTED by bandwidth limiting and then applying 6 dB
preemphasis above 500 Hz and some 20 dB compression for the best
understanding of weak signals.  Orion certainly has a RICH TX spectrum with
artificial DSP components added between two audio test signals.

DJ0IP had limited time for BCC evaluation of Orion and I wonder if he had a
chance to check IP2 products during the night on dead higher bands?
There are no negatives in ON4UN Orion test report!  I support G3JAG KISS
statement including the last S :-)
