>From the Ten-Tec web page on 24 August 2002:
--------------
"Please note that as of today (June 19, 2002) that we have not published
complete spec and receiver performance data - we expect these to be
forthcoming shortly and will publish them to our web site in the near
future. Printed literature and revised photos of the Orion will be available
in the next few weeks."
We will begin deliveries in September 2002, but it is likely that backorder
status will stretch delivery of some orders for the Orion past that date.
First orders in are the first orders shipped."

Excuse me, but I'm from the computer industry. That's where you know a
marketeer is lying simply by the fact that his lips are moving. While I'm
sure there are some people who are so loyal to Ten-Tec that they would jump
at the chance to get an early spot on this waiting list, I suggest that
those "early adopters" are likely to end up the ones with the arrows in
their backs. Personally, I think I'll wait until I hear an Orion on the air
and can read some reliable lab reports before jumping on this bandwagon.
