I was using my Orion over the weekend here in Florida - the lightning
capital of the world. By using fast Noise Reduction (9 setting) and "slow
agc" with no hang time, I was able to greatly reduce the QRN. Was able to
copy Europe on 75/80 well enough to hold a short QSO. I also have an Omni
VI+ and the Orion is MUCH better in QRN conditions.

Subject: [TenTec] Elmer Question
Can someone tell me what their experience has been with the Orion as
compared to the OMNI VI (or VI+) in day-to-day operating?
Over the weekend there was a QRP event, and around here there were lots of
static crashes on 40 meters. So we had weak signals and lots of QRN. Would
anyone say that it would have been easier to make out those QRP signals in
those conditions with an Orion?
Obviously the Orion is designed for contesters but what I'm curious about
is how it does vis a vis its predecessor in ordinary use.
Thanks for any input.

John, W3ULS
