The ARRL expanded test report shows Orion IP@ at 77dB pream
off, and 73 dB preamp on.

        Apparently there is a discrepancy in the QST article, which
has IP2 at 63 dB for both preamp on and off.  Elecraft used
the QST data which came out before the Expanded Test Report.
You may want to ask KC1SX about this when he returns.  If the
ETR is correct, Elecraft needs to change Orion's IP2 numbers and
color from red to black.

        You might want to check out the comments about Orion on 40 meters
in the Bavarian Contest Club test report and ON4UN summary.
