[TenTec] Omni VI+, VII, or Orion for next rig. Can't decide

[Richards]

Serious novice question:

Does all this close-in-third-order-intercept / up-conversion stuff 
matter more to CW than to SSB ?

Seems to me it would because of the narrow bandwidth you are using with 
CW.  I mean, if a guy crowds you on SSB, you narrow your filters, shift 
the band pass, play with the notch, and all that jazz... but on SSB you 
have some room to move, some bandwidth to give up as you notch a tone 
out or shift away from the offending signal overlapping your intended 
range.... but on CW, you are already narrowed down and have nowhere to 
go, so either the rig discriminates, or it does not, and if not, there 
there is no more room to move, and... I suppose... therein lies the rub.

Does this make sense?
