[TenTec] O2 Noise Reduction

[Carl Moreschi]

The Orion and Orion II have one the best hardware noise blankers I have ever
seen.  Depending on the noise you have, a hardware noise blanker may be much
more effective than DSP noise reduction.  Noise blankers work best on pulse
type noises such as the electrical noise from a motor.  My wife's hair dryer
makes a great noise source to test noise blankers.
