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?"

I bought an Orion about a year ago and didn't like it for many reasons,
so I sent it back and got a refund and bought a 756Pro2 with the $$$.  I
was very happy with the Pro2 and I recently replaced woith a Pro3 with
which I'm also happy.

Primarily, I'm a DXer and a contester.  I prefer CW, but with my Heil HC4
mike element, the transmit SSB audio is outstanding for DXing in pileups.

I recommend the Pro3.
