  Hallo and best regards from here !

  I have an IC756 - very gd radio ! But he is in the ages now and shows some mirrors sometimes.
  After checking the possible equipment (IC7800 is impossible for me ) I was frustrated.
  Most of transceivers use only DSP to get usable results. 

  Now I´m in crisis : Which Transceiver should be used in the shack for  the lowbands ?
                             All bands over 14MHZ are VHF for me. Im not so interested in contests but need gd rx for pile up on low bands.
                             
                             The really need is a LOW NOISE RX FOR DETECTING WEAK SIGNALS ON LOW BAND !

  Now I think about K2 specialiced for CW only, FT1000MarkV (but has noisy rx) or Ten Tec Orion ( dont know the rx ! )

  What do you think about this choice !

  Can you help me with experiance ?

  Probably the most important question is whether you are bothered by local/very very high signal level interference. Does your current radio often fold-up in the presence of interference on 80 and 160??_
