[TenTec] SSB recieve audio?

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

I'll keep my vintage 1963 Collins 75S-3B with the Collins 2.1 kHz mechanical 
filter.  Comparing the ICOM, Kenwood, Yaesu and Orion, it makes them all 
sound bad.  Great audio comes from tubes.  As to IM from BC stations, there 
isn't any.
