That's funny, I didn't notice that on either of the two Orions I briefly
touched at Hamvention, let alone the other rigs there.
But... well, why are you surprised? It seems that whenever ANYONE comes out
with a new product, there's always SOMEONE who's a huge fan of a competitor
who just can't wait to find an excuse to put down the other guys. We've
seen evidence of that here on this reflector.
Don't sweat the small stuff. If someone is really trying to extrapolate a
general feel of "craftsmanship" based on a quick turn of the knob, then you
are never going to reason with him, facts notwithstanding.

Speaking of the Orion and their offerings. I rotated the tuning knob on
every Ten-Tec at the show and every one had an eccentric knob. Looks like
all their knobs have oversize holes and when tightened to the shaft are off
center. That is something mechanically simple, wonder how well the
craftsmanship is on the rest of their products?
