Topband: Orion

[jbattin at msn.com (jbattin)]

I compared the Orion with one of my IC-781's and it blows the 781 away by 20
to 25 db in ability to handle large signals at offsets 1 to 20 Khz. I like
the ergonomics, I like the sound. The radio does not have an audio filter or
DSP that provides extremely narrow bandwidths (Earls issue), but since I am
accustomed to mainly using 250 Hz. CW bandwidths, that is not much of an
issue to me. I like this radio, and I have never been impressed with a
Ten-Tec product before.
