John,
I installed a beta RX366 in my Orion II about mid-Sept 2011 and have
contested extensively with it ever since. Much of it in the N1MM SO2V mode you
mention. K8IA and N7AT callsigns used here.
It is a significant improvement over the stock sub-rx. When introduced to
it for 2011 CQWW CW, one of the ops here (N7AT M/2) said, "sounds just like
the Main receiver". That's was exactly my point to him.
SO2V is now a pleasure with the 566/RX366 combo and definitely on par with
my other radio, a two-rx K3.

Several weeks have elapsed since Tentec released the RX366 subreceiver
upgrade for the Orion 2. I am interested in any remarks from those who
have installed the RX355 in their Orion 2....is it a significant
upgrade in your opinion? I'd like to use my Orion 2 with the main
receiver running and the subreceiver looking for multipliers during
contests....maybe the sub receiver using a vertical for non-directional
searches while my main receiver using a Yagi to make the contact.
I looked for the RX 366 info on the Tentec website...its not under the
new products, not under the Orion 2 options, not under receivers, not
under accessories....
