Glen & Readers;
At the March 2002 Charlotte Hamfest, with the RX-340 receiver to its
right, the Orion simply looked ugly and I stated this to Scott Robbins.
He later inferred ALL Amateur lines will go to black soon. He seemed to
take the comments personally, stating "Here comes trouble" when I
returned to look at it again Sunday morning. And no, he was not smiling .
So that is a big strike if this is Ten-Tec's "new road" to ignore
current/past customers opinions.
Too bad Ten-Tec is giving up the Omni gray color so popular these past 15
+ - years to copy "JA Black".
I believe the Centurion is now all black.
As I told Scott, I will not buy a new Orion, because I have to look at my
purchase when operating.
Regards,
Jim, K4SQR
