I've been contemplating an Orion since its introduction while continuing to enjoy my 544 and Corsair II. From the introduction of the Orion until present day, my concerns about price/usability/bugs h
Yes. Maybe yhey'll change their name to Yen Kec <gr> and use the 'ifv we don't get it right the first time, we 'll just sell you a whole new rig. a very SAD DAY INDEED. to ___________________________
I know I get disappointed when a rig (or car) I have moves on to a new model. Hey, that's just natural. But I, for one, think its great that Ten Tec is upgrading the Orion to an Orion 2 to provide a
I can understand this, yet on the otherhand, I've enjoyed the benifits of the Orion I for nearly 2 years and will enjoy the added benifits of the Orion II when they ship. Being somwhat serious about
It appears to me that perhaps the purchasers of the original Orion got a very good bargain ! Good luck to both past and future buyers of these new age radios. Al W4ABW _______________________________
Looks like my OMNI V and Corsair II now have a new buddy has been, the Orion I. I will start to look for an Orion I at the local flea (Hamfest) markets soon. They may be going real cheap if software

Bob, Reading the announcements, it says downloading the new Software will upgrade the Orion original model. It is just that the color screen, rearrangement of filters, and 8 pin mike connector are on
Not so fast with your speculation about parts availability. The guys who manufacture and sell the parts are not dumb. They all run "End of life strategies" and this includes milking the base one last
Thanks Ron, Couldn't have said it better myself! Quit bellyaching and start putting away the coin for the new one if you are so inclined. As for me, I am looking forward to the cast-aside Orion versi
