Bob,The orion and orion 1 are the same.The orion 2 is the new rig with color
screen.The omni's are the same series a(original) series b and series c.The
b series I believe had warc bands and the notch filter.The series c had
modified its filtering But I think removed the notch.Anyway the omni A was
analog dial while the omniD had digital...hope this helps..73 john
