the easier the receiver is on the ears, the better i like it ...after nearly
50 years of listening i am convinced the Orion is the best receiver i have
ever used and well worth every dollar--especially when i turn on the noise
reduction ...the noise reduction is the best i have ever used also
...compared to the IC756 i have had for a few years it is marvelous ...

the only receiver i can recall even coming close to the quality of this
Orion was the Collins 75S3B i wish i still had. (sadly one can't measure
memory well)
