The Orion sounds like a rig I would love . Unfortunately, I just don't have
enough green <sigh>
I don't suppose there is a sufficient market for the rig I want and could
almost afford - excellent receive, clean smooth audio, low power ? (a 516
plus ?)
.5 to 20 watts out
most of the Orion receiver but without any extras.
I'd like to pay $1500 but would still be tempted at $2000 . Would I be the
only customer or would anyone else buy this ?
well, I can wait for the used market ... ;-)
