I don't get the comments about people hating their orions. I have not seen it. The guys pointing out problems
to a man have all said they still like the radio.
Is it to the point that if you point out faults in a product you now hate the
company or the product?
Just to play devil's advocate for a moment, are the so called ten tec faithfull brainwashed? Makes as much
sense as the hating remarks.

In my daily reading of this list, I have noted quite a bit of contrast in
the opinions of Orion owners regarding their Orion radio. I can't help but
wonder if the ones who hate their Orion are those type of operators who must
constantly improve, troubleshoot, tinker and eventually improve the radio to
a point where it don't work good anymore. You know the type of operator I
am talking about. The one who will report, "when I put this control at "a"
and then put this other control at "b" and I press the PTT switch on my mike
at the same time I press my foot switch while turning knob a and have switch
"d" pressed ,while reversing modes yadayada, I get this funny howling sound
in my audio.
It is nice to hear some pleased owners. It is difficult from the posts to
determine if this dog wil hunt or not.

Jack and Tom, you two are definitely NOT the only two that are very happy
with their Orions!! Mine is a II now, but had the "original" as well and
have loved both. I hope more of us "happy owners" will chime in just so
those thinking of buying one can see just how many of us there are.
