[ICOM] 7800 vs. PROIII vs?

[Jan C. Robbins]

I'd be curious to know why one might think the Orion "doesn't sell 
nearly as well" as, say, the 7800.  The data I've seen suggest the Orion 
is selling better than any other top-of-the-line transceiver has in the 
last decade, given its limited supply schedule.  It would be doing a 
great deal better if supply could begin to keep up with worldwide 
demand, which so far it can't.

As to the comparisons, at least half a dozen independent testing 
operations rate the Orion higher than the 7800, not one the other way 
round.  The margins vary, of course.
