To the esteemed group.... For about the same money you can choose a used Ten
Tec Orion (original one) or an Icom 756 ProIII. Any thoughts as to which to
choose ?

=========================
well ,I had a 756 plain, with a 2kl and an at 500, sold it, I still have a
746pro with a different IC 2-kl and at500 and never use it. I also have a ts
2000, a scout, a corsair II two 857d 's (mobile in each car) and an FT 847
in the pickup.
I use the orion daily, and in contests and on nets and dxing. I turn the
others on now and then to see if they work still. the orion is that good..
takes a little getting used to but it is fan tas tic. I use the Orion ( it and
original orion with tuner) with the alpha 87 a, and love it.. I wish I had
bought these first.. I need no others for hf..
just my opinion, your mileage may vary.
