* The effectiveness of the selectable roofing filters to
eliminate the undesirable signals immediately after the first
mixer is a invaluable advantage.
*** They never looked at diags! There are two crystals wide filter, NB and
then selectable filters!
* The very clean transmit signal resulting from the low phase noise.
*** TX signal is very dirty due to DSP generated artificial IMD components.
* The powerful DSP (audio adjustments) together with the wider
filters enable hi-fidelity SSB (for the ever increasing number of
followers of this fad)
*** Hi-Fi has nothing to do with DSP!
* In the summary at the end, they are particularly enthused by
the 40m RX performance (they insinuate that the ORION is the only
rig that can still copy weak signals with the Preamp switched on,
without generating any unwanted signals of its own).
*** Only the idiot would do that!
Negative:
* Boot-up time is 13 seconds.
*** Not bad compared with PC Windows systems :-)
* Attempting to save more than 500 or 600 characters into the cw
memory results in a processor crash requiring turning the rig off
and on.
*** Getting closer to Windows standards!
I am sure FA beats CQ test report even without any numbers.
