I did not know that the Orion was designed for the "average ham". I received
my Orion I in early August of '05 and am running version 1.372 firmware. I
am quite happy with the Orion performance and am perfectly willing to
operate with 1.372 indefinitely. I certainly don't mind if TT offers an
update for the OMNI series, but I would be disappointed if TT does not
continue with development of the Orion series.

How many feel that the Orion series is just too ambitious and will never
turn out to be a really user friendly rig for the average ham, no matter
how
many revisions are made?
How many would like to see TT come out with something modern having the
"feel" of an OMNI VI, but with an Rx like the Orion II main? Possibly an
updated
Jupiter?
