I have a PRO III -- to configure a Orion with all the filters and antenna
tuner plan on spending $4300> I think the ORION is a great receiver but the
price difference for your operating style may not be worth it. I like the
PRO III - I have owned all the PRO's and the III is by far the best. The
only thing I would add is the roofing filter you find in the 7800 and
optionally in the ORION.

Would like your alls input. Should I start saving for a Pro III or an Orion?
I am a very casual ragchewer\dxer, rarely work CW and listen to SW utilities
quite often. I have really enjoyed the tools on the 746 pro when listening
and like tailoring my audio out. I have no experience with Ten Tec.  What
are the pros and cons of the Pro III and Orion under my parameters of use?
