[TenTec] TEN-TEC announces new amplifier

[chacuff]

I'm not sure what issue you speak of on the Orion.  I think it works quite 
well.  It works differently than the Icom implementation but I find it to be 
better in many ways.  Maybe you are speaking of the Noise Blanker which, as 
in many brand of radio's has limited function.
