I read the product review with mixed understanding in the September 06 
issue of QST. Not unfavorable or favorable either; but leaning towards the ham 
that likes SDR.
  
Seems like a lot of the comments voiced on the reflector or newsgroup were 
basically voiced in the product review. QST reiterates that "Ten-Tec 
also has not addressed all of the original Orions's shortcoming in this 
iteration." - page 59 of September 2006 QST.

Read the entire review and come to your own conclusion.

Fortunate for me, I can compare a ICOM 756 PRO II to the Orion II. I 
like both transceivers. 

I can say with all the gripes mentioned in the article I would still 
buy the Orion II again and hope some of the issues can be resolved in 
the future.
