I'm not sure what issue you speak of on the Orion. I think it works quite
well. It works differently than the Icom implementation but I find it to be
better in many ways. Maybe you are speaking of the Noise Blanker which, as
in many brand of radio's has limited function.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] TEN-TEC announces new amplifier
I have an Eagle and as others can buy an Orion II or any other radio
costing much more, but why not fix the NR of this one on the Orion?
Tempted to purchase another brand if this isn't taken care of. It must
cost Ten-Tec in lost sales when others have a superior NR function.
Software updates don't make money in themselves, but if it costs them lost
sales of their radios??? I'd rather purchase an USA manufactured radio
even if I have to pay more.

Hi Jerry,
I understand your point perfectly well. John Henry told me that adjusting
the alignment is very easy...just changing a variable in the FW. If it is
that easy then it should be done so they can put that issue to rest.
Others have mailed TT and myself about this same problem.
Although you and others may not think that Ten Tec makes money off of
software updates, they do. I'm in the market for another radio and I like
Ten Tec but I don't like the fact that they can't solve simple issues in a
reasonable amount of time. Granted, they may make no money on fixing that
issue but they are going to lose at least a $2000 worth of sales because I
won't buy another product from them until they demonstrate that they can
fix a very simple issue. Heck, it's not like I'm asking for a new
function:-) I'm willing to bet that as long as they don't fix that bug, I
will continue to broadcast here and to John, that I am waiting and I
suspect they'll lose more than just my sale.
