Hi Mike....have you considered a BCB band pass filter? They attenuate
everything below 1.8 MHz.There are several manufacturers. ICE makes one
that will take up to 200w of transmit power; 42 bucks. I have an Orion and
am now at 91 worked in this season.

Subject: [TenTec] Orion/Orion II questions
Hi,
I've been reading the postings on this list for a while and am getting
ready to take the plunge for either an Orion or Orion 2. The remaining
questions that I have are:
How good is the performance on 160 when in an area with many broadcast
band stations. My spectrum analyzer shows me that there are 4 very strong
stations in my area ranging from -6dBm to +2dBm which would reach the
radio (at the end of the transmission line connecting to the radio). In
addition, W1AW is about 5 miles from my QTH and consistantly has an S9 +60
on 160, 80, and 40.
Are there any owners near the Hartford, CT area?
Thanks in advance.
Mike, WA1SEO
