I find my Aerial-51 SKY-SDR comparable with my Eagle.
I drive an IC-2KL with it to about 150w.
But no full QSK. Just fast semi-BK. I stopped using QSK 15 years ago. Too
hectic for this OM.

I have had my ORION II for 3 years and use it a couple of hours daily, mostly
but not exclusively on CW. I love it, but I fear that it may break down, and
not all parts are available anymore. So in order to secure my possibility of
operation I bought a SKY-SDR last summer. The human interface is not as elegant
and comfortable as the O2, (13 buttons versus 65) but apart from 7-8 w RFout,
which may be boosted to 250 w by my Centurion, the performance is comparable,
including keyer, PAN and CAT. - It has surprised me that now 10% time on the
air is O2, and 90% is SKY-SDR !!
