[TenTec] Ten-Tec "Hiss"

[Gary Tuck]

With Kenwood transceivers I always used one of their speakers with  
passive Hi/Low cut circuits and often an audio filters as well--from  
the old Bencher XZ-2, to a Datong FL-2 (?) and a Timewave 59+.  All  
did the job but with the Orion, I don't need any of them.  When using  
a 60 ohm set of cans, I hear no hiss when connected directly to the  
headphone output.  If I tried that with my TS-850S, the continual  
hiss would drive me crazy.
