[Orion] Re: [1000mp] Mark v compared to the Orion

[Joe Giacobello]

I am in the midst of comparing my vintage MP vs. my Orion, but I am 
reluctant to make any final conclusions until I'm confident that I've 
mastered the proper use and interactions associated with the AGC and RF 
gain settings.  My comparisons will be primarily on CW.  My preliminary 
impressions are that the MP compares quite favorably with the Orion on 
sensitivity and copyability of weak CW signals on 30, 40 and 80M.

I haven't really reliably compared selectivity.  My MP has all the 
available stock Yaesu filters.  At this time my subjective sense is that 
the Orion may have an edge here, but I don't have any KW signals across 
town to contend with.

73, Joe
