[TenTec] Just an observation

[Carl Moreschi]

If the Orion sounded like crap, I bet he just had too tight a filter. 
You need 2400 hertz or wider for nice audio.  And fast AGC would not 
sound good either.

It amazes me that so many people don't have a clue about these two 
items.  There are far too many appliance operators today instead of the 
technicians that the FCC originally wanted.
