Now this might start another discussion, but I installed an InRad CW
roofing filter in my VI+. I do not have the equipment to make actual
measurements, but for CW, I believe this rig is at least equal to my
Orion--let alone a Jupe. InRad published specs on their web site
which I took with a grain of salt at first, but the front end seems
every bit as good as an Orion with its 600hz roofing filter. Now I'm
not really a contester and have limited antenna capabilities at this
QTH so my standards are not going to be as high as many of you.
But, if I could have the NR/NB/notch capabilities of v137x with the
stability and other improvements of v2, well, then the Orion would
have the prime place on the desk again.
