I don't own one yet but gotta tell ya you are right about the chiming in
part.
I joined this group to learn more about the rig and so far am kinda put
off and hoping to hear of changes.
I am an avid CW OP and heard TEN TEC had it going on with CW but then
joined only to be worried about the rig itself.
I think others are as well from what I have heard on other groups of other
makes and models, so your idea about happy owners chiming
in, is a good one.

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.

Jack and Tom, you two are definitely NOT the only two that
are very happy with their Orions!! Mine is a II now, but had
the "original" as well and have loved both. I hope more of
us "happy owners" will chime in just so those thinking of
buying one can see just how many of us there are.
73,
Don, WB5HAK
