 >Lets hope Elecraft got it right!

         For the record I've used an Orion
for ~4 years and probably made at least
20k QSOs in contests and on the low bands.
I also have some local electric fence noise
as well as lots of thunderstorm QRN on 160.
I've never heard transients similar to his
recording *unless* my AGC was set to an
abnormally slow setting.  If I ever heard
anything like that, the first thing I would
have checked would have been AGC Decay rate,
and also made sure Hang was set to zero.

         I'm not sure about the other rigs Rob
tested but I don't believe this was a real
problem in Orion.  I personally think you
would have to totally screw up the default
Med or Fast AGC settings to hear anything
similar to his recording using an Orion.

         I think Ten-Tec got it right also
but am happy to hear Elecraft is aware of
the issue.
