[TenTec] Yaesu comparison

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

First I'd say that a roofing filter has little to do with actual receiver IF 
selectivity.  In other words, the roofing filter is pre the DSP selectivity 
which would typically be less than the BW of the roofing filter.   Today's 
receivers develop their selectivity in the DSP system.

In the referenced video, I could not discern the DSP selectivity of the K3 
or the FT-5000.   The Orion II BW is 520 Hz.
