When Orion was first displayed at Dayton it was
something very new for everyone to get excited about,
most of all the contesting crowd. This year the FT2000
got a huge amount of attention. At suggested $3000, it
would be 75% the cost of Orion II, less appealing to
the pure contester but more focused on the general
HF'r. Roofing filters, analog S meter, and in band 2nd
reciever but replacing the LCD display with VGA output
for some functions.
I'd like to see Ten Tec visit this idea, now that the
Orion idea seems to be dialed in so well.
