Hum, I must be just plain stupid,but my ORION II seems like the best darn 
radio I have hit on in a long time. I did send back a PEGASUS in 5 days 
after receiving it and that seemed to miff them a bit and they wouldn't sell 
me any radios for a while,but no problem buying the ORION II so my money got 
good again.

I am totally happy with it but I operate mostly CW , you know, that mode 
that is dieing out ? But this weekend I will get to test it on SSB won't I ?
