Bill W4ZV mentioned: "N1EU has several examples of Diversity RX here:http://www.qsl.net/n1eu/orion/diversity.htm If you poke around Barry's website, he also has examples comparing weak signals on Orion with aFT-1000D somewhere on his site."
Although you might have to put up with some ads (unless you use Firefox), my Tripod site is probably much faster at http://n1eu.tripod.com/orion/diversity.htm
I just put up two new audio clips today where I switch back and forth between stereo diversity with two antennas and mono with one antenna. One of the clips is on 20M ssb and uses a yagi and a Beverage antenna. If you have a "lowband" receiving antenna, you might want to give a listen to how much it can help pull out the weak ones on the higher bands as well. Fortunately (or unfortunately), the Orion is the only ham transceiver that has ever offered stock diversity reception capability with antenna and vfo tuning flexibility.
I had removed the FT-1000D weak signal reception comparison from my Web site (it was recorded a year ago and I've wanted to do a better job), but I put it back up for a while if anyone wants to listen to that as well since Bill mentioned it.

P.S. My previous attempt to post this message resulted in "Your message to TenTec awaits moderator approval" so I'll probably start posting to the Orion list in the future instead
