[TenTec] Orion CW operation

[Martin, AA6E]

Great QSK, but no QSOs!

Would it be better if the rig inserted "band noise" matched to your
current condx when you are in Tx?  A sudden switch from band noise to
noiseless monitor tone is bound to be hard on the ears, even if you
smooth out the transition somehow.
