[TenTec] Hi Cut / Lo Cut - Orion

Hello,

just one simple comment about this thematic:
I'm used to use High Cut / Low Cut on my TS850S - and comparing this 
with PBT I've seen on other transceivers (with fixed BW), I really 
wouldn't like to miss it on the next receiver in my shack. It gives you 
a really EASY way to optimize your reception, if a disturbing signal is 
on one side of the wanted signal - a very common situation especially in 
SSB DXing, but of course in CW also, as you all know. If a 2nd signal 
from the upper side disturbs - no problem, take the high cut a bit down..
I do not know yet how the detailed realization has been done in the 
ORION (not ordered yet), but on the TS850, Low/High Cut is really 
intuitive in its use, as it inverts if you switch from LSB to USB: If 
noise sounds high-frequent, always use highcut, if it sounds 
low-frequent, use low-cut.. no need to think about what doing, no need 
to switch between PBT and BW, etc - and intuitivity of operation is what 
I consider really important during a contest.
I really can NOT imagine that things would get easier if I'd have to use 
PBT + BW instead of High Cut / Low Cut..
