John:
I also have an older Orion (June 03). The T/R switching in QSK is literally
silent, and I have been blessed with superb hearing. I had an Orion II here
and the relay noise was noticeable. Not loud by any means by clearly
audible. I asked Paul if they had made a change in relay manufacturers,
and/or mounting method. he replied they had not made any changes. I am
apparently VERY fortunate that my specific relay is quiet, and the mounting
is not creating an increase in noise. I can put my head on the cover....no
noise. I could hear the Orion II when sitting way back in my chair. Go
figure.....

Subject: [TenTec] Orion Relay Noise
I have a new (to me) Orion (Orion 1, Orion I, Orion Sr., etc.) that has
a noisy T-R relay. Ten Tec service said the rig was OK, but there is
some normal clicking.
Anyone found a way to quiet it down?
