[TenTec] FT 757 vs Orion

[Paul DeWitte K9OT]

I do not have an Orion to compare to a 757 but about 15 years ago a friend
of mine had a 757. She brought it to my shack and we A/B compared it to my
Omni  series C. The Omni could hear ANYTHING that the 757 could hear plus on
the Omni you did not have to listen to all of that noise that make you tired
and want to turn it off.  The bottom line was when the 757 developed a
problem it went down the road and a Corsair II took its place.
Having operated a couple of 757s, it would be a rig of last resort in my
shack.
