[Orion] 1.372

Yes, same here, happens usually on the Low Bands. But there you can add 6 or 12 dB of attenuation and won't loose anything... the noise level at nights is high anyway...

My Orion with 1.372 works great until  receiver (DSP) is   overdriven by strong signal- about S9 plus 30dB. There are many of those signals in the contest. And yes I have quiet
location with "quiet antenna" 4el quad, so I'm using preamp
for marginal signals in the presence of strong one (on some bands).
This is known big problem with 1.372. and it is not acceptable. So, we can't go back to 1.372.
Waiting for 2.0.

Other than that the radio is great.
