Dave,
An Orion 1 or 2 would meet your needs without menus of infinite depth. 
Most  menus are of depth 1 being selected by a well labeled button.

The amateur band only second receiver is occasionally available.

It has an Analog S-Meter.

It has the capability for enough crystal filters to satisfy the most 
dedicated DXer and a fully adjustable digital filter. I like my Orion 1 
better than my Omni VII for this reason.

It has the RX only antenna capability.

It has excellent Sherwood numbers for its price. Orion 1s go for 
$1000-$2000 often with extras like filters, fans, and remote tuning.  
You can use your 9 MHz filters from your Omni VI+

The Orion II is slightly more refined with a color display.

It interfaces easily with other Ten Tec equipment with full breakin 
capability.

And it ought to hold you till a better rig comes along.

They are still upgrading the Orion software.
73,
Ed, N5EI
