Subject: [TenTec] ORION - coming in 2002

> Hello:

> Thought it might be time for some comments from Ten-Tec directly
> about the ORION - I waited a couple of days on purpose just to see
> what initial feedback we'd get about the rig without any information
> coming from us. Thanks.
>
> Frankly, there isn't a lot to share about it as of yet, and here is all
> the information I have available at the moment:
>
> ORION will be a completely new, ground-up design top-of-the-line
> HF transceiver from Ten-Tec. We anticipate the retail price will be
> in the $3,300 range.
>
> ORION will be a true dual receive HF transceiver. We anticipate
> that the receiver performance will exceed the Omni-VI Plus and all
> of the currently available Japanese HF transceivers.
>
> Main receiver is amateur radio bands only, utilizing both analog and
> IF-DSP stages, 10-160 meters. Sub receiver is IF-DSP,
> general coverage.
>
> Cosmetics are still being finalized. The transceiver will use an LCD
> display screen similar to the Jupiter but larger and not the same
> color background display. Case color will be black.
>
> Transmitter is 100 watts output.
>
> The will be a number of new features on ORION that haven't been
> found on anyone else's previous rig. We can't release complete details
> on these until the specs are finalized.
>
> There is no estimated delivery date, other than it will be available
> sometime later in 2002. We plan to introduce and show the new
> rig at the Charlotte Hamfest on March 9-10 and at Dayton
> Hamvention in May. By then, we should have feature and spec
> information to distribute about the new rig.
>
> We are VERY excited about this new product. Stay tuned.
>
> Thanks and 73.
