First, the IC-7800 is likely to be a beautiful rig, perfect for those who see
more value in it than the cost (Thank you, Adam Smith). Maybe it will even
have the kind of "Love-it" performance that the 765 can still evoke. Likewise,
the Orion is a beautiful rig, and there are many who would buy an Orion before
the 7800, even at the same price. So this is not about defending one or
pushing another.
Initially much was said about the four DSP processors on the 7800. One is for
each RX, one for the transmitter, and one for the display (GRINS).
On the Orion: do the two processors parallel or co-process, or do they have
discrete functions? Does anyone know now the DSP resources are allocated on
the Orion? It would seem that parallel processing of some sort, if done on the
Orion, might produce superior results to a single, dedicated 32-bit processor
on each RX as indicated on the 7800.
Just curious how the DSP hardware resources are allocated on the Orion. Look
forward to the comments.
