I noticed while looking at the TenTec Orion specs that the Orion is =
compared to several top end rigs for 3rd order distortion and IP3 at 5 =
kHz.  The Orion is 101dB and  +24dB.  The next highest rig is the K2 at =
88dB and +1dB.
The price of a fully loaded Orion is $3817 (tuner and extra filters) =
while the K2 is $1579 (everything) and, depending on your outlook you =
HAVE to build it yourself or you GET to build it yourself.  Now =
volume-wise ...  Of course some would point out that these are both USA =
built radios.
Just a couple of observations.
