Since it's now almost December and there's no indication that this board
is going be produced by the time Dayton rolls around in 2009, I thought
I'd bring this old message back up to the top again. In my book, this
is not a good mark on the Ten-Tec record. -- 73 de N8VZ

Thanks, Mike. If this is not an old, not-updated post, I was lied to at
Dayton. I was shown a prototype board and was told it was ready for
production. In fact, I was told that the week after Dayton they would
be having a production meeting and that the board would be ready for
general sales within three months or so. A friend of mine who bought an
ORION II about three years ago was told at that time that the board
would be ready "in a few months." He's ready to ditch his Ten-Ten
equipment he is so mad about this issue. When I gave him the
information from Dayton, including my live sitting of the prototype
board, he calmed down a little and said he'd give Ten-Tec a few more
months. In short, I hope what I was told at Dayton is more accurate
than this link. Perhaps, at this juncture Ten-Tec's recent "sins" are
no more than not updating a web page! :-)
