I'm almost certain, given Toby's information, that this is the same
individual who not long ago
recommended that someone "do yourself a favor and look at a Yaesu MP MKV"
here on the list.
I believe he also intimated that two of his "friends" tried Orion's and
couldn't make them work, either. I
felt that he'd not even owned one himself, and I think he's just got a burr
under his saddle for TT.
As in much about our hobby: Consider the source. Anybody watching the
Century 21 reflector, he'll probably
rear his ugly head there next...HI.
