[TenTec] Orion Noises- NOT

I spent a couple hours using a local ham's Orion at his shack.  I ran CW at
40 wpm. I heard no relay noises.  Using either the speaker or my Sony
Walkman cans, the QSK was virtually free of clicks and pops.  All I could
detect was a VERY SLIGHT click in the right can.  Nothing to complain
about.  I was using the internal keyer.  For a while we used a QSK amp; no
difference.  Different bandwidths; no difference.

He was using the current firmware.

Overall, the rig was pretty amazing!
