[TenTec] ORION LOW FRQUENCIES

[Ascani Adriano]

HI,
is normal that the ORION is completely deaf under 720 Khz, when in the specifications sheet  TENTEC says: Frequency range: 100 kHz-30 MHZ . The JUPITER is a bit superior. but in the range 100 kHz-1700 kHz the very very old YAESU FRG 7700 and TE 430 S  are unbeatable. Can someone tell me if my ORION is defective or, this , is an ORION  feature ?
Another question: what means that in AM mode the real  BW is is double than what the display shows, is this  another defect?
Anyway i am happy to have this rig, and i enjoy working with it ?
