I'm talking about narrow spaced dynamic range, which has nothing to do with
firmware.

I have had no problems as you have described. Like I said, maybe I'm just
lucky.

I think it's a bit greater than 100 Hz, but don't recall any discussion of
it being 300Hz. Others on the board have done actual measurements and
perhaps they will chime in. The comments under 1.0 above relate, as I said,
to narrow spaced dynamic range, where the 7800 basically falls apart
relative to the Orion. Take at look at http://www.sherweng.com/table.html
and http://www.w8ji.com/receiver_tests.htm.

Ok, we all have different notions of what is a good control interface, given
a fixed number of knobs. My point was, if you want something different,
suggest specifically what that should be.

Neither am I. I use the Orion, warts and all, quite happily. There is no
"perfect" radio. Some just cost more than others :-)
