[TenTec] ORION Contesters: HELP PLEASE

[Sinisa Hristov]

Rick,


not strictly a "Con", but three-tone close-in intermodulation
audio/video recordings may be of interest, as they occur with
levels as low as S9+20 dB:

> Guys,

>  In 5 days I have the privilege of giving a PowerPoint
>  presentation to about 200 European contesters, with the Subject:
>  "Orion as a Contest Transceiver".
>  Others will be presenting other potential contest transceivers
>  (e.g., FT-1000 Mk II, K2, etc.).  We have been asked to remain
>  impartial (difficult) and to present both Pro's and Con's from a
>  contester's viewpoint.
> 
>  Since I do not personally own an Orion and have only used one for
>  24 hours, I am a bit sparse on data points - especially when it
>  comes to "Con's".  If I do not present a few "Con's", people will
>  deem my presentation as biased (most think I'm on Ten-Tec's
>  payroll anyway - Hi).
> 
>  I would appreciate any and all inputs.  Thanks in advance for the
>  help.
