[ICOM] Re: 756 Pro III vs. Tentec Orion

[Doug Renwick]

The conclusion to this is we have two operators/stations with different
equipment doing very well on 160M.
Each has chosen a radio that matches their preferences, and neither is wrong.
Each operator's abilities were created differently.  Hence to maximize
his performance, different equipment was chosen.
Example: Suppose the filter between operator A ears is different than operator
B, or operator B can detect a much weaker audio tone in the noise than
operator A.  Each chooses the receiver that matches them.
