I never said that but perhaps I could have been more specific.  What I said
was: "None of the radios on the market today will outperform the Orion
II."  I was thinking specifically of cw contesting (and low band dx'ing)
when I made that statement. I don't think there's a better cw contesting
platform out there.  I don't mean A/B tests, but a radio that you operate
intimately/intensively in the toughest conditions for an extended period.
The Orion II is simply a pleasure to use like that.
