[TenTec] TS590SG Sherwood numbers = Orion

[Don Jones]

I dumped a TS590S because of the ALC transmit issue on SSB.
On CW, the TS590S was better than my OMNI VI with INRAD 600Hz Roofing 
Filter and a full compliment of TT filters.
Since then I picked up a KX3 and it's receiver is very much better than 
my 6.
My Omni VI is about to go down the road.
Just my $.02.
