[TenTec] ORION and Inrad 762 vs Orion II CW selectivity and tone

[yahoo email]

My Orion II is 2.059 software.
The Orion (not Ver 2) is 1.372 software.
But do not construe my comments as any kind of negative on the Orion II.  It is fine.  They are both fine.  My comments are more 
as being surprised by how great the  "older" Orion with the 762 sounded in comparision.  These receivers have great front ends.

         Ken, there is little hardware difference
in the analog signal path for an Orion + Inrad 762
versus Orion II + TT 2001.  The differences you
are hearing are more likely due to firmware.  What
firmware versions are in each radio?
