Ok, here is a set of rules which would do the job:

ONE RADIO CLASS:
1. One transmitted signal at a time.
2. When the TX is on, the RX must be off and vice versa, i.e. 
conventional transceiver operation.
3. The RX must use the minimum bandwidth needed for receiving one 
signal, i.e. no spectrum analyzers,  panadaptors, multiband/broadband 
receivers or similar equipment.

TWO (or more) RADIO CLASS:
1. Anything goes.

How's that? Feel free to enter either class as you prefer.

p.s. Your Orion has two receivers in one box. Just keep the second 
turned off for SO1R, just like W6AM would if he were still around.
