I'll provide a real but subjective result I've heard. For the CQ WW SSB
contest I spent a few hours at a major local contester's shack running
his 1000MP's (or MkV's - not sure which) and was very surprised to hear
all the "garbage" (IMD products) rumbling away in the background on a
"quiet" frequency. I never hear that on my Orion (nor did I on my Omni
VI+). I've always appreciated the receivers on both these TT rigs, but
this just brought it home even more.
I love my Orion despite the struggle with RF on the audio. Not all of
use whine about problems with the Orion all the time - some of us try to
be even handed!
