The funny thing is, Orion's outstanding front-end performance (as
is true
for the K2) has absolutely NOTHING to do with computer technology. It has to
do with superior analog design of the front-end that has been around for
literally
decades. The mistake some manufacturers have made has been to think that
128-bit CPU's at 50 GHz can overcome basic limitations in the analog front-end.
Sadly, some of them still believe that (but that's good news for Ten-Tec).
