After a really LOOONG afternoon of swapping the PROII for the MARK V, and back and forth and around and around - the bottom line is this. The Orion has by far the best reciever of the three. We could copy and work (aided by an Alpha 87A and a 4L quad) stations the other two could not make copyable. And when the mobile fired up 10 kHz below our listening frequency and within 30 feet of the base of the tower, the other rigs were wiped out - but the Orion didn't miss a beat. The only way we could tell he was there was some phase noise from his transmitter. Even on an S0 DX station.

Oh Lordy you guys sure are making my mouth water... I sure wish I could afford an Orion...
