Have been off the band for some years now and am itching to get back on. Rig is a TS 850S with 400Hz iRad filters in both IF's for CW which has been my mode of choice. Since the itch has returned, so has interest in a new rig. I've always heard guys marvel at Ten Tec rigs and I've been reading the archives about the Orion all morning. Thought I'd join the list to learn more.

Living in the city, I fight QRN, line noise, etc. With antenna restrictions here, I use an 80m delta loop fed in the corner for multband use. Use an outboard Timewave DSP-59+ but it has marginal effect. So, my priorities are good audio and good noise reduction. I know that I can order a rig and return it within 30 days but that is a lot to just listen to one and compare it to my 850S. Has anyone put these side by side? Any thoughts or words of wisdom? thanks for your patience.

73, Gary WB7FCQ
