It's true that there are chronic complainers in society but the whole Orion
thing can't be dismissed that way. Here's one reason: In the old days,
when you bought a car, rig, or some other widget, and were unhappy with it,
you could modify it yourself. Have you looked under the hood of a new car
these days? Try finding the oil filter, spark plugs, battery and other
basic things. they are getting to be impossible for a shade tree mechanic
to work on. Same with ham rigs. All or most of the Orion problems seem to
involve the firmware. But ten tec treats the code like it's top secret eyes
only fouo. So, no one knows much what's going on, and no one can do
anything except wait for the updates. So part of the problem is the
customer has a lack of control over the problem, more so than in the old
days and that drives the compaints. If there were user mods for the
problems, everyone would shutup and do them. this kind of thing may also
apply to the new yaesu and icom rigs also since they are also complicated
and running firmware I think.

<<<I have over 30 years experience in management with various companies. One
of
the things I have learned, and was shocked to learn, is that some people are
only happy when everything is going wrong. I try to disassociate myself from
these people. The opinions of this type of person should be ignored. I am
not talking about the person who finds a problem and offers a solution. The
dysfunctional person I am talking about never has a solution and are never
happy. They only have problems.
