Re: [TenTec] ORION

I've been really enjoying my O2, especially today when I worked country 
number 323 for me, Gibraltar on 17 CW.  I never worked much CW before I 
bought this rig, probably because I never used a really good CW transceiver 
before.  Working the ZB2 required 'pulling out all the stops', including the 
300 Hz filter.  I got the 3Y0 in SSB on three bands so far, and using the 
sub receiver in the right-side headphone to listen up and track where he's 
listening is an amazing tool.
