The front panel layout on the Orion II is probably the easiest and most
intuitive that I have ever owned. Using the existing mold for the front
panel would be fine and having the "guts" of a new Orion III would make it
even better.
I also like the layout and controls with the extra large display on the Omni
VII

Subject: [TenTec] New Discussion Orion III Survey question
Without any distraction or off topic replies, I want to know if the Orion
III can use the same front panel with the same controls and features /
buttons/ knobs and user interface.
The screen will be different, the guts will be different, the box may be
different, and all of this does not matter.
All I want to know is if I can use the same expensive injection mold for the
front. If the answer is no then we will have to use a painted front like
certain other people use.
This is not telegraphing that an O3 is eminent, under development or any
other speculation. Is the O2 front panel OK or not OK. that is all I want
to know.
