Yep...that could be somewhat of a limitation with noisy/weak signal
conditions. I do find my #221 filter to be pretty good down at 400hz.
I haven't looked into it, but it might not be too much of a problem
to drop that down another 100 hz. Changing my 750 hz offset filter to
a 500 hz offset would allow me to listen down to about 300 hz. The
500hz offset roofing filter sure does a good job at cutting out the
QRN above about 800 hz, especially here next door to Florida where
there are constant t'storms.

The only thing that kept me from an Omni
is that 400 Hz is the lowest CW Pitch frequency. That
stopped me from buying one when they first came out
years ago. I seldom go above 400 Hz Pitch and normally
prefer 250-300 Hz...450 max in contests only (to catch
off-frequency callers).
Orion is the first rig since my TS-930S that
allows going below 300 Hz Pitch. I used a FT-1000MP
for several years but it stopped at 300 Hz.
