I am in the midst of comparing my vintage MP vs. my Orion, but I am reluctant to make any final conclusions until I'm confident that I've mastered the proper use and interactions associated with the AGC and RF gain settings. My comparisons will be primarily on CW. My preliminary impressions are that the MP compares quite favorably with the Orion on sensitivity and copyability of weak CW signals on 30, 40 and 80M.

I haven't really reliably compared selectivity. My MP has all the available stock Yaesu filters. At this time my subjective sense is that the Orion may have an edge here, but I don't have any KW signals across town to contend with.

73, Joe

What are latest results of the comparisons of these two rigs? Have not seen
anything in awhile and was wondering if any further research has been done.
Thank You
