[TenTec] Some Observations on Orion Stability/Calibration

It would have been nice if the TCXO was powered up all the time.  That would
have solved the stability issues.  I have had rigs that had that feature.
The power switch killed power to every part of the rig except for the TCXO
or X-tal oven.  I suppose that the Orion is accurate and/or stable "enough"
or Ten-Tec would have incorporated that feature.  My Orion seems pretty
close and I am hesitant to have at it with my "Fiddle Sticks" 73, Bill
