I don't have a Yaesu 5000 to listen to, but I think all of us on this
reflector with Orion IIs agree that the DSP NR needs further work. It works
pretty well (for me at least) on CW, but there is much room for improvement
on SSB. The NR in 2.044A is better than 2.041XT, but hopefully the next
version will be better yet.
However, this appears to be a firmware issue, not a compelling reason for
a new hardware platform (Orion III). So far, the only such reason that has
attracted much support in this thread is the sub-receiver, which many would
like to see identical to the main receiver as in the K3. Not everyone
needs, or is willing to pay for this, but as long as T-T keeps supporting the
566 (and 565), we users can take our choice.

Listen to the NR on the FTdx-5000. It can pull a signal out of the noise
and make an unreadable signal readable, and a noisy signal armchair copy.
This works on SSB as well as CW. I don't know what algorithm they're using,
but it really works.

The NR you are talking about does not exist on any radio. Still to this
day I have never seen an NR that truely helps with copy. They might make
things quieter but copy is always best under difficult conditions with NR off.
