John,
I have an OII and like it a lot. However, it has become my second radio and
rarely turn it on. My primary radio is the Flex5000A. It is not only more
sensitive and selective than the OII it out performs the OII in every
respect. I've owned a wide variety of gear over the years and my feeling
the Flex5000 is the best of the best.
73,
Kirk, K6KAR

Subject: [TenTec] ten tec orion receiver opinions -
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
