[ICOM] Truth in advertising?

Just compared the T.O.I. numbers of the pro III to the TT Orion and was 
disappointed. The Pro III T.O.I. is fairly close to Orion at 20khz spacing, but 
falls way behind Orion at 5khz spacing. The industry needs to get standardized on 
it's method of measuring receiver performace. It is quite misleading to just 
throw out a number without any parameters.

The same thing happened with the 7800. When all was said and done the 7800 is 
about equal to Orion on T.O.I.  for only $7500. more in cost. I was looking 
at the Pro III, but now It's back to Ten Tec. 73.
