[TenTec] New Orion

[Martin Jay]

Good morning Steve and Tom,

Tom, when I had my 1000mp, Mark V, and Field, i had the inrad 70hz mod .. it
didn't make a radical difference. I am really excited about getting the
Orion next week. I only wish that it had 6 meters. I was hoping that they 
would make a new downladable version that had it. Well guys, I just had a
Corneal Transplant yesterday and am hurging pretty badly, so I will say 73
and g.b. 

Kind regards,
Marty

Just to make sure we are on the same page - do you have the Inrad 70 mhz IF
amp, better known as the front-end mod, or do you have the very new 4 khz, 6
pole first IF roofing filter? I was one of the first to order the roofing
filter mod, and just got it the other day. This filter goes after the stock
12 khz ceramic filter, or, for those like me who had the Inrad front-end mod
(IF amp), this replaces that mod. However, this does have an on-board amp
as well. George is also coming out with a first IF roofing filter for the
Omni 6. It is not switchable, or selectable like the Orion. Tom W6EIJ
