Just so y'all know, my comments below on the fw bug on the Orion do not
indicate any flagging of enthusiasm for this radio. I have never owned a
better rig, nor hoped to own one this good. I'm glad it's a TT, because
I know they will stand behind it. The work on fw 2.0 is particularly
good news since it seems a number of usability enhancements will come our
way when it is released. I'm very pleased!
