Gee, you ought to get something for the $1000+ the Orion costs!

It seems as if I forgot to mention the 756PRO II and how it performs with
the 1.5 KW neighbor within a mile of me.  Well, unfortunately I could not be
on the same band as my AGC pumps everywhere.  It renders the 756PRO II
virtually useless but then other tests indicated that with the BDR figure of
78 dB when there was a strong signal within 5 KHz of your listening
frequency.  This is a pity as I have been an Icom man but sadly the PRO II
lacks in this department because it doesn't have roofing filters but then I
knew that when I bought it.  The bottom line is a comparison between the PRO
II and the Orion is not favorable for the Icom.

Remember this is an A/B test on an extremely crowded band on 160M.  As I
indicated, I expect the same type of performancewith the PRO II on 80 and
possibly other bands that I did not test.
