[TenTec] Comparison of Ten Tec Orion II with Flex 500A

[Duane Calvin]

I would say the SSB performance is probably equivalent.  My Orion I sounds
great on both TX and RCVE.

That's probably enough to make the difference; I operate a lot of CW.

If the SSB performance is much better with the Flex, that might move me back
