[TenTec] Orion III

[Barry N1EU]

I agree with much of what has been said downplaying NR.  I've never
met a NR that I liked (O6+,1000MP,Orion,K3,etc) - just use the radio's
filters and the neural processing you were born with.  If you're
waiting for NR to magically make noise disappear without adversely
affecting audio quality, you'll be waiting a long time.
