[TenTec] Yaesu comparison

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Dan,

Without knowing which filters are in the K3 or how any of the rigs are set
up, there is no way to judge what we really heard.  My guess is, I could
make whichever rig I wanted sound the best.
>From what we heard and saw, the OR2 was best, but what filters were selected
and where were the passband tuning controls set to on each of these?

I can say when I had my Eagle and my K3 on the desk, side by side, I made
these kinds of tests and I couldn't see any difference.  My K3 only had the
5-pole CW roofing filter, not even the 8-pole.  And I don't think the Eagle
is that much worse than the O2.

However I SURE liked the pretty O2 display the best!

I never owned one of those fancy rigs with a color TV built in.
Tell me, do you have to watch commercials too, or do they filter those out?
;-)

Rick, DJ0IP

Has anyone on the list had the chance to do an A/B comparison between the
Orion II and the Yaesu FTdx5000?  Particularly in terms of ssb selectivity.

I used to have an Orion II and sold it (bad move!), but now much later, have
a Yaesu FTdx5000, but I am not satisfied with it's selectivity, maybe due to
only a 3 kHz roofing filter.  So I am seriously thinking of going back to
the Orion with a 1.8 roofing filter.

Any comments?

Thanks and 73
