Paul,
I think you've captured the Zeitgeist in a most excellent way. You
should have a long and happy career in ham radio.
I have the problem you suggest with the panoramic feature in Orion.
It just doesn't work well for me, probably because of a fair hearing
loss in one ear. I think an external equalizer for headphones might
be a good idea, but I haven't tried it yet. It's not clear if this
one function is really all that important for me. I don't have any
trouble with other receiving modes.
I am thinking of getting a pair of new-fangled DSP hearing aids. At
~$5,000, they put the price of the Orion into clearer perspective!
Does anyone have experience with hearing aids vs headphones? They
seem to offer an inductive coupling option for telephone use. I
wonder what that would do for hamming.
