The Icom  bandpass filters cover more than just the ham bands but are
sharing them  with the general coverage portion as well so not as good as
the Orion which  is strictly ham bands.
Some of the older Icom rigs like the  IC-740 did that but those with
general coverage receivers such as the  matching IC-745 were not as good
for obvious reasons.
Just  my 2 cents worth.   Fern



The Orion has 2 separate fully programmable receivers. The Main receiver is  
"Ham Bands Only". The Sub Receiver is "Ham Bands plus General Coverage".
