[TenTec] RFI into Orion II

[Jim Brown]

Hi Gary,

Oh, I'm well aware of the ravings of the audiophools and the carnival 
barkers who extract money from them -- they were routinely the topic of 
considerable merriment when we gathered in the bar at meetings of 
professional audio societies (I'm a Fellow of the AES and an emeritus 
member of the Acoustical Society of America).

Bob, K4TAX, is also retired from the world of pro audio.

73, Jim K9YC
