I guess I will put in my 2 cents worth. I used to have a great
station when we lived in a house and did have some RFI problems.
However, we are now living in a retirement apartment where I am
severely antenna and power challenged. The Orion I have does a great
job of listening - better than any radio I have owned over the years
(FT-1000D, Omni VI, Scout, IcomProII - which I sold to buy the
Orion). I am using a Isotron 20 antenna sitting on the top of my
bookcase pointing out the window, which is about five feet diagonally
from the Orion. I have chokes on the line at the Orion and the
antenna. I operate at about 10-20 watts, mostly on CW and PSK, and
now have not problems with RFI either in my computer (Apple G5) or
radio. I had a small problem with the computer before the chokes. I
would think that my rig and m yself are bathed in some RFI. Anyway, I
sure like the Orion and have been making contacts over most of the US
and into Canada
