I have used both and currently have/use a 565 Orion. The Orion has a high
contrast display that is either "white on black" or "white on blue" that
depends on the screen color. The primary difference between the 2 rigs is the
Jupiter filtering is purely DSP based, and the Orion has the ability to add
filters in tandem with the DSP. The second receiver on the Orion is the same
one in the Jup. The RX is far better on the Orion on the main RX then any, and
I have had a bunch, rig I have ever owned.Sandor KG4FET NCS /RNCS TenTec SSB

Hi everyone..
With failing vision I no longer can read the dial on my trusted Omni VI
relying more and more on keypad entry by touch.
My thoughts are to move
to Orion/Jupiter style screen readout and would be interested in
anyone's views on the merits/demerits of the two rigs before I consider
moving on from TT and go YIK or SDR..
My main interest is cw contesting and until now the Omni VI has fitted
the bill perfectly plus it is a rig still within the home repair sphere
of our hobby .
Mni tks in advance.

Hello
Sorry your eyes are not seeing the display. My eyes are getting old too.
I use the camera on my IPad to zoom in on small things . It works very well.
Just a thought . 73s Byron AC9PA

Go get N4PY software and put it up on a big screen. I believe it will work on
your radio.

Thanks for the tip Byron.
The problem I find with AMD (deteriorating central vision) is there is
only so far one can gowith magnification and my preference is more
brilliance/contrast is with some enlargement which the Omni 6 does not
have..
Best wishes
