The only non-digital filters in the Orion (or Orion II, for that matter)
are the roofing filters. Everything else in the rx chain is digital. I
have an RX-366 in mine and it's the same way. My understanding is that
it's essentially the same rx as in the Eagle and I believe it, too, is
digital from the roofing filters. In both rx chains, the roofing filters
are crystal filters -- all else is digital.
As for visibility of the display: the displays are equal on both rigs.
The Orion II is color, but the numbers are pretty big. That said, their
size can't be adjusted. N4PY software might be helpful in that I'm
certain its display can be adjusted to meet many needs. Large screens
are also very reasonable in price, so even if the N4PY software doesn't
display well enough fwith your current screen you can make the screen
itself larger which might help.

I have used both and currently have/use a 565 Orion. The Orion has a high contrast display that is
either "white on black" or "white on blue" that depends on the screen color. The primary
difference between the 2 rigs is the Jupiter filtering is purely DSP based, and the Orion has the ability to
add filters in tandem with the DSP. The second receiver on the Orion is the same one in the Jup. The RX is
far better on the Orion on the main RX then any, and I have had a bunch, rig I have ever owned.Sandor
