If the Orion sounded like crap, I bet he just had too tight a filter.
You need 2400 hertz or wider for nice audio. And fast AGC would not
sound good either.
It amazes me that so many people don't have a clue about these two
items. There are far too many appliance operators today instead of the
technicians that the FCC originally wanted.

Conclusion: If one THINKS they know how to set-up and operate a radio,
best advise, ask someone that KNOWS how to set-up and operate a radio.
Another very new and strange technique........read the manual.

Hi guys - Just a brief observation... Stopped out to the local radio
club Field Day site... and lo and behold ... they had three big rigs set
up. A Yaesu FT-10000, an TEN-TEC ORION II, AND A TT OMNI VI - the two
TEN-TEC stations were complete with TT power supplies, speakers, a TT
tuner, and the like. Man it was a beautiful site...I mean sight...
either way works I guess, but it was a proud day.
One of the guys complained the Orion II sounded like crap. I told him
you cannot set it up like a Yae-com-wood. They said somebody who did
not know the rig had messed around with the menu settings and had it
sounding funny. I recommended they do a refresh re-boot and restore
the factory default settings, and start over - rather than debug what
they had done. Hope this was good advice...
We use an Orion II, a pair of Omni VIIs, and an Omni VI at our contest
station... and nobody every complains.
But it looked seeing all that TT gear out there !
Happy trails and good DX to ya.
