In my previous email the word AGC should be replaced with "RF Gain". Sorry for
the mistake.

I agree. The AGC on my O-2 is seldom set above 65 and I never use the pre-amp.
It's the best radio I EVER had.

Yes, provided that:
- The ORION or ORION II at least has the A9-board upgrade
- The memory backup battery was replaced within the last 2 yrs
- Owner learns to use AGC and RF gain (never set it at 100)
....perhaps some more....
Certainly the Wikipage is a great help.

I fully agree.
An O1, if clean and from a non-smoking shack, is probably the best value
(bang for the buck) there ever was on the used market.
