"Comparison videos"? Tell me you're not watching YouTube videos - I
have yet to see a single YouTube video of a radio that was set up
properly, not to mention the crappy audio transferred to video.
Phone performance isn't going to vary much from a $1000 radio to a
$5000 radio. CW is a whole different story.
If you're just a phone operator, buy whatever radio sounds better and
whose layout appeals to you.
All that being said, you CAN'T go wrong with an Orion, no matter what
your operating interest is.
