... has a very high resolution mono display, or color,
and possibly an additional DSP processor to handle
that bandscope. More revisions and UI refinements in
the microcode. Of course that's what Icom did with the
original 756 and some blasted them for it. 

Orion was announced over a year ago and now that they
are delivering them it already seems time for an
upgrade. 

Also interesting is that for the preceeding year the
Orion reflector has had light activity, even through
the time of deliverys. Now that 7800 has been
announced, there are lots of comments and ideas and
not just of the "food fight" variety that one might
have expected. 

Even though it's outside of it's class, that 7800
changes everything with Orion.

One ham's view. (asbestos on, and speeding towards the
Mexican border!)
