[TenTec] Orion Sub Receiver BW

[Lin Davis]

Interesting! I wonder if Ten-Tec did this to reduce the DSP workload thus 
increasing overall performance (i.e.. sweep, and user input response). If I 
understand correctly, if you cut the bandwidth that a DSP filter must contend 
with by 2, you cut the "work load" by four; the filter requires half the 
coefficients, and since the sampling rate can be cut in half as well, 
(decimation is the term), a factor of one-fourth results!
