Perhaps someone has some measurements. But from experience on SSB , a
1.8Khz roofing filter combined with tight DSP filtering makes a difference
that you won't find at several times the price, no matter how pretty that
color display is.
The word "defective" is used by a small number of individuals with specific
complaints and an axe to grind. I've never understood why so many spend so
much energy grumbling in a public place for a readership that can't do
anything for them, many of whom don't share their issue and can't relate to
their pain. I suppose it's the eternal quest to find others who will
validate their troubles/views/opinions. But that's what these boards mostly
are ... the complaint bureau for people with a gripe .. Makes you wonder if
Lucy is still giving psychiatric services for 5 cents :-) Some issues are
real, some are scapegoating the Orion. If you can't blame anything else
it's always those "stupid design engineers". So what do you expect when you
see a lot of posts using the "D" word? (Before you shoot the messenger, I'm
not saying their isn't a problem or two -- but I'm not willing to spend an
extra $7000 for a $2 XLR mic connector, either!).
I don't operate much CW. Those that run CW, do ... and those that don't
(sadly, like me) collect keys .. I need to get that Begali Signature on the
air! But I do operate digital (MixW/RigBlaster), SSB and AM. On a bang for
the buck basis, far fewer gripes than I've had with the "stupid design
engineers" who built any other radio I've ever owned :-) No, zero, none,
nada RF-in-the-audio problems, either, at the legal limit, with one end of
my 75M dipole about 10' from the radio room.
