My Orion III would be an Orion II with the addition of a sub-receiver 
that is equal to the main receiver, a 9 mhz IF out jack, and receive 
antenna out/back in loop connections so you could add devices such as a 
noise cancelor in series with the receiver.  It would also have 6 meters.

They might make things quieter but copy is always best under difficult conditions with NR off.
