The Orion has the most sophisticated DSP of anything else on the ham
market, by a long shot. Even were it 3db difference (100 vs 200)
it's a heck of a lot easier to increase output power than it is
to improve the receiver...
Plus, none of the JA rigs that I've seen have decent QSK or someone
in engineering who will respond to an email...
Now where the heck are the 1324, RX-340, and 350 block diagrams and
schematics??? How to decide if I can't see how it works...
