[TenTec] Orion Filters

[Tommy]

Yes Buck, I think it would restrict SSB operation to the point in 
would be very unsatisfactory. But of course filter selection and 
where you install them should be determined only by how the 
individual operates their station. 'Corse, too, if you chose to 
remove the 1.8 kc filter so you would have a 600 hz and then a 1 kc 
filter for CW, you would still have the 2.5 kc (?) filter for SSB. Or 
you could bias your filter selection in the other direction if you so 
choose. To me, that's the beauty of the implementation of roofing 
filter selection in the Orion.
