On the other hand, the number of operators who run QSK CW at a 
bezillion WPM must be exceptionally small in the grand scheme of 
things..  (Anybody can SEND that fast.  I can't copy much over 25 
wpm, but I can send REAL fast without a single solitary error).
.
And luddite that I am, one sends CW with a bug (a vintage Lightning 
Bug is my preference) or at least a keyer with paddles -- keyboards 
don't count :-)

The Orion has a bug in the sub receiver (tuning rate) in AM mode.  
But the number of people who care enough to even realize there is 
a problem is so infinitessimally small that it hasn't been fixed 16 
months after it was first (and repeatedly) reported to T-T.

Just not enough demand to warrant the attention, or additional cost, 
or engineering effort, or whatever .. not that that glitch or the fact 
that you can't hear a break between words at 100 wpm doesn't 
affect somebody who cares  ... :-)
