[TenTec] ORION II CW pile up readability

[Tõnno Vähk]

Guys, could I get some advice. I have been trying to get used to my OII for a while now and in some instances it is great compared to my old fully loaded MP's. Sharp filters, great sensitivity, good strong signal handling, more effective NR than MP, etc...

But I find it extremely difficult to handle CW pile up as it is so much more difficult to read out single calls from pile up. They all sound the same and form a mass of signals. It was very difficult this weekend on 160 to hear DX station from the endless EU callers in his pile-up. I don't know what it is about the CW signals in MP that make them much easier to distinguish between. I have tried to play around with NR, RF GAIN, ATT, AGC and BW without much success.

Tips appreciated.
