Maybe it is a love hate relationship? Note previous post "O2 FM NFG..."
This may express some form of love, but obviously the poster is not too fond
of his Orion
at least the FM part. I have noted countless post similar to the above with
regard
to the Orion. It has even been accused when the cause was local i.e.
operator or interference.
In fact the negative aspect has been so predominate, that only here lately
have the "happy owners" chimed in, giving it a more balanced picture.
I have received several posts direct which more or less states This dog will
hunt. (if you will just enjoy and operate it).
