Maybe they were all bought up by contesters so you never hear them because they are intended to be rigs for competitive operating. To put it another way, if 95% of my operating were just hanging out
One certainly can tell that the bands aren't up to snuff based on this reflector. Ron Maybe they were all bought up by contesters so you never hear them because they are intended to be rigs for compe

How do we know there aren't any Orions heard? Who tells everyone the name of their rig every contact? I know there are some of you out there that want to know the rig, antenna, tower, computer, softw
Hi Rob, To answer your question, because it hears so much better than the rig it replaced (an ICOM IC-756PRO II). In talking with W6OBB and the group on 3840, I sat the rigs side by side, and did a c

Maybe the guys that still have their ICOMs don't want to reveal how much better the Orions are, until after they have unloaded the ICOMs. DE N6KB _______________________________________________ TenTe
I bought an Orion, and currently own an Icom 775DSP and a 765. Both Icoms are great receivers. The Orion is a superior receiver to both of them. I will be selling the 765 shortly and keeping the 775D

That's like saying that Orion owners are touchy and relentlessly defend their purchase because of all the bucks they have invested. Larry __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yah
Exactly - just like the owners of all other brands. It is human nature to defend one's actions, especially when it involves spending a lot of money. Applies to cars, radios, houses, etc. ____________
i think it all goes back to the concept : If I were to have bought the WRONG RIG.... I WOULD BE STUPID !!!! otherwise I would have bought the right rig. ... Or as we used to say in the hifi biz : I w
"rig". Not at all, Bill, although I don't know what rig you bought. I think that the major reason people end up with the "wrong" rig on their desk is simply that they lack correct and appropriate inf
Not quite! If an Orion (or any other Ten Tec ham radio product) owner is unhappy with his or her purchase they can get their "bucks" back within 30 days!!! They don't have to defend anything. -Lee __

I think you have to define what "wrong" means. Different people look for different things when they buy a radio. For the $1200 I spent on my used Omni VI/Opt1 a couple of years ago, I could have pur
Bravo Virgil K7VP Couldn't have said this better myself - which is why we've been very active in describing how Orion is different from transceivers that have come before it. Yes - and there are coun
