Douglas, I'm the whiner? Exactly what did I whine about? Maybe you need to re-read the string of e-mails below. I'm not the one whining about Ten-Tec. You're already taking care of that. Do you even
Thanks. I was wondering about that. The last picture I saw of ON4UN's station he had 2 ORIONs. But that was a while back before the K3 was released. Not that it matters to me, but it is my understand

Marsh, KA5M enjoys It is not my intent to be insulting to you, Bob, but what places you in a position to admonish contest ops? I would agree that there are some bad apples. I believe that in general,
With all due respect, you simply do not understand how this works. I'll explain. "Once the key is closed on the Orion, RF is produced." Bob, that simply is not true. With the Ten-Tec Orion II, RF app
Goo Gone can work miracles Marshall Stewart KA5M Yuck! My Omni VI had some extra stick-on feet. Looks like a previous owner may have used a narrow shelf, and had the back of the rig hanging over, nec
