on the II, where that isn't an issue, they might take umbrage with Sherwoods
comments on that point.  Or not :-)"

All of Rob Sherwood's comments in the quote were in reference to the Orion II 
(Not the Orion). If you read the full
text of Rob's post (Yahoo ICOM-7800 Group MSG# 4755) you will also find Rob's 
comment "After working with T-T, they redesigned the front end to my spec, and 
eliminated the two amps, and put all 7 roofing filters in one bank." I'm 
guessing Rob has a reasonable working knowledge of the performance issues of 
the  Orion and Orion II. As I recall, I also think he had some influence on the 
firmware not too long ago. Maybe someone else remembers?
