The Orion line is still fantastic, at any price. Just because "better" comes out doesn't mean that I'm about to trade in my radios. Sorta like high end cameras. I love my Leica and the lenses that make it so fantastic. No reason to trade it in. Consumerism is not apropos if I am happy. I bought my Orion because someone within a block of me loved to run high power on PSK. That's not a problem anymore.

I'm a retiree with a modest home and a modest automobile. I won't be buying any $8,000 transceiver. The most expensive transceiver I ever bought was the Orion and it lost a significant portion of its value when the Orion II was announced not terribly long after the introduction of the original.

  Ten Tec needs to have a price that allows them to make a profit.
  I would think a price for this new rig would be around $6,000.
