[TenTec] Source for Binaural Receiver

[GARY HUBER]

The Flex-1500 (which I have) will do binaural using the IQ stream. The 
FLEX-5000 with second RX will do Diversity. The FLEX 6700 does Diversity 
while the other two 6000 series are binaural capable.

And the AOR TDR-370 Audio DSP (which I have) has binaural output. When 
you have hearing impairments, you find ways to hear your radio better. 
(at least I have tried).
