There are others that can go into more depth. I have an O II and like
it very much. However, if you could get an Orion for he right price,
decked out with tuner and filters, you'd probably get more bang for
the buck. The O II will be less hardware constrained than the Orion,
but I think there's a lot of life left in the Orion.

There's a possibility that I may be able to upgrade from an (original)
Orion (with all the INRAD filters) to an Orion II.
Is there really that much of a difference between the two that would
make it worthwhile? It's my understanding the sub-RX is the same (i.e.,
no individual filters, no good for diversity reception), that the
display is in color (no big deal) and the scan function is better, all
as a result of a more powerful processor.
Is there something I've missed?
