Judging from some of the comments, I must be fortunate to live in an area
with no strong local signals. The only times when either receiver in my
Orion II folds are when the hardware noise blanker is on. When I turn it
off, the receiver comes back. I wish I had that 3 element 40m beam up 105
feet, though ;-)

That's the way I use the sub-receiver as well. I have a local friend
who bought the OII with the 366 installed and, after having listened to
it a number of times, I can't see a reason to purchase it.
