[TenTec] Orion Relay Noise

[fraz1]

John:

I also have an older Orion (June 03).  The T/R switching in QSK is literally 
silent, and I have been blessed with superb hearing.  I had an Orion II here 
and the relay noise was noticeable.  Not loud by any means by clearly 
audible.  I asked Paul if they had made a change in relay manufacturers, 
and/or mounting method.  he replied they had not made any changes.  I am 
apparently VERY fortunate that my specific relay is quiet, and the mounting 
is not creating an increase in noise.  I can put my head on the cover....no 
noise.  I could hear the Orion II when sitting way back in my chair.  Go 
figure.....
