I disagree.
My Omni 6+ is very susceptible to RF. Yes, I have 450 ohm ladder line
coming into the shack and yes there are unequal currents flowing in each
leg (i.e., by definition, it's radiating); however, non TT radios work
just fine with the same antenna, same location, same ladder line, same
strong RF field, etc, etc. So, I definitely DO see it as a problem.
For $3300, I'm hoping they can harden the Orion and make it work as good
(RF field wise) as other brands of radios.
