I concur with Bernard. My Orion is flawless (so far). No evidence at all
of possible RFI induced problems as alluded to by many on this reflector.
Maybe I am lucky, or maybe I just haven't done anything "bad" yet.

I have had my Orion since last March and haven't had ANY trouble with
it. You hear about the problems on this board and I could see where that
might concern a potential new buyer. But, the folks on this board are
EXTREMELY technically astitute. They can solve problems. That's why people
post here. They believe that they can discuss and find answers.
Don't get me wrong. I've owned ICOM gear and it was a good rig. I've
also owned Yaesu, Drake, National, SBE and another TenTec rig. I liked them
all, but the Orion beats them all, hands down.
If you are concerned about the 30 day return policy, maybe you can find
someone who will let you come over and use an Orion for an afternoon.
Just one man's Orion opinion.
73,
Bernard, WA4OEJ
