. . . and I think the "terrible time" Paul mentions after the Orion came
out had more to do with TT managing expectations of potential and real
customers. Everybody wanted all of "their" ideas included. They also
struggled with updates that broke functions that had worked previously -
clearly a case of inadequate regression testing, but then I think they
underestimated the size of the coding and maintenance job the Orion would
bring. I was VERY pleased with mine, and when I sold it a few months ago,
it was still one of the best radios on the market. There aren't many
available that have it's feature set and overall performance!

The RX320 was their first SDR, followed by the Pegasus, Jupiter, and
then Orion. The Orion was a great radio even when it came out. I
bought one as soon as they came out and loved it.
