[TenTec] Orion Sub Receiver BW

[Ron Castro]

My understanding is that in AM, the BW shown is supposed to be the actual 
recovered audio bandwidth, not the total bandwidth.  There is no reason why 
it should be restricted to any less than 12 kHz since the DSP IF is 14 kHz 
wide, and the roofing filter over it is 20 kHz.
