Hi Pete,
I still hear my neighbor's TS-570 because he transmits phase
noise for about +/- 100 kHz that I have no problem hearing with either my
Omni VI+ or the Orion. Wish he'd buy an Orion! But, hey, he used to
have a TS-430 - oh, man, was I happy when I discovered he'd gotten the
570 - it's so much better!
73, Duane
