Same here - I still have the original Orion, and it is by far the most
terrific rig I've owned. Yes, a couple of glitches here and there that
still need tweaking, but, over all, an outstanding radio. I'd love to be
able to enjoy the O2's color display, but I can't justify the cost of the
upgrade to myself. I'm sticking with what works. No, I don't care for
koolaid - I've owned all kinds of rigs.
