They did miss some fine points, though. I do agree with the point
that the Orion is not a good choice as a beginners radio.
It appeared the reviewer(s) really didn't mess with AGC controls
much. Perhaps the discussion would have just taken up too much
space :-) Among other things they would have found that the
"hang" setting does indeed give you a peak-and-hold function on the
S-meter. The comment in "this and that" at the end of the review
missed that altogether -- which is why I think they didn't spend any
serious time with AGC.
I do hope they publish an extended test report at some point. And,
of course, it's too bad the close in dynamic range tests stop at a
mere 5Khz :-)
