Hmmm, Paul, you seem to be from a different planet than I am.
I thought that was a wonderful radio. I used it successfully in several major
contests.
It was never a very good TV.
Perhaps you could elaborate more precisely on what it is you are criticizing
about the Orion.
I know people seem to focus on what TenTec promised and failed to deliver on,
but how about analyzing the radio as it is, compared to all others and
especially compared to them at the point in time it announced?
IMO the Orion I was a great radio, ahead of its time.

I have not forgotten the terrible time that TenTec had with the first Orion
that they came out with. I think that was the first SDR they came out with.
Perhaps I am wrong.\\ Paul Gates, KW4BD
