[TenTec] Is Orion really worth it? Given the published problems?

[Peter Connors]

Yes, I see that from the measurement you report on your website but that 
isn't what your bullet point was and I still don't quite understand the 
need for an increase in response at 50Hz. I think you might mean "I 
would prefer the lf response to begin rolling off later".

For the measurement you didn't specify where the output is measured from 
- is it at the antenna socket at full output but before ALC action 
starts? This would help this ex-BBC engineer to attempt to replicate 
your findings.
