Sorry you were/are disappointed but the Orion does work and works well 
for many of us..  Results were just posted for the 2005 ARRL DX contest, 
and you might wish to note that NN3W took first place low power USA by 
over 200k points ahead of his nearest competitor.  NN3W performed this 
feat from W9GE using my modest antenna farm and my Orion that never 
needed rebooting once during the contest. 

Many of us have different pereceptions.  Me, I am happy with my Orion 
and will remain so until a better receiver comes along....and I expect 
that to be a very long wait.  73 bob de w9ge
