[TenTec] Orion II and Audio Peak Filter

[John Nason]

I too tried my old Autek QF-1A on the Orion II.  It
was mandatory on my old Kenwood.  However it did not
seem to really help with the Orion.  I do feel some
audio filtering would help but I am hesistant to buy
an aftermarket product without solid recommendations.
