I received my new Orion about 6 weeks ago. I have used it in two
contests,
one voice, one CW. In a side by side comparison with my OMNI-VI+, it
outperformed the OMNI noticeably in two areas: weak signal reception,
and reception of very closely spaced signals.
I discovered that the Binaural reception feature is helpful on CW, but
is quite a distraction on SSB.
Although I rarely use the sweep function since hearing of some lockup
problems, I have noticed that it creates a very annoying clicking in the
headsets. It is more noticeable in quiet areas of the bands,
particularly when no signals are present.
Has anyone else encountered this?
