N1EU:
 >I didn't understand Bill's calculated superiority of the Orion until I 
realized he omitted the two minus signs from the Pro3's figures.

Barry, what minus signs did I omit?
ARRL:
"we determined the PROIII’s TOI to be
–17 dBm, 1.8 dB better than the –18.8 dBm
we calculated for its predecessor"

W4ZV:
"Orion's IP3 was measured by ARRL at
5 kHz to be +22.1 dBm, a mere 39.1 dB
better"

(the difference between -17 dBm and
+22.1 dBm being 39.1 dB.)

                                 73,  Bill  W4ZV
