It seems that there is an unpardonable sin on this reflector to 
criticize any Ten-Tec product esp. the Orion. I like Ten-Tec alot but 
Tom's complaint sounds reasonable to me. A guy spends 3000+ dollars on a 
radio he wants it to work. I will be leaving this reflector for this 
very reason. I encourage you (Tom) to make use of Ten-Tec's excellent 
service. I have spoken to Paul and others there and without exception 
they have never talked down to me or failed to help with any problem. 
Good luck with your Orion it should be a great radios when it is finished.
