"I was reminded of how important good receiver performance is when I
got to play with a new Orion receiver in CW Sweepstakes. Even without
going into great depth on the controls, I was able to work weak
stations in the heat of Saturday afternoon that I'd have had a
difficult time with on a lesser receiver. So here's some reminders
that will help your ears a LOT in the upcoming contests."

My guess is that several different ARRL staffers will be trying
Orion in contests as part of ARRL's evaluation process. Nothing like
a contest to "separate the men from the boys" for a true evaluation of
RX performance under duress!
