The Orion has two receivers. The primary receiver is an excellent
performer but it essentially covers just the amateur bands. The
secondary receiver is much more basic, many have compared it with the
receiver in the Jupiter transceiver but it is general coverage.

i've used some great receivers over the years - my favorites are the drake r7, aor 7030, icom r75. among a few transceivers. i have the opportunity to purchase a ten tec orion 1. the sherwood engineering receiver reviews rate the orion at the top of the list. i would like to hear from orion users regarding the receiver in this radio - i am a ham also, but my interests really are with dxing the tropical, MW and the LW bands i.e. weak signal dx - if the receiver is good and i purchase the radio i can transmit to boot! having owned this rig how would you rate the receiver vs. other radios you have used? - is this transceiver attenuated on the MW and LW bands like most transceivers are? - is the receiver in the orion that good? would this radio be good for my purposes - thanks again in advance. sincerely, john ki4ucw
