I am not really concerned about the Orion cosmetics. I let my wife look at the first pix posted on the web and she said it looked very nice. That's high praise from her - but her next words were "I w

No Raymond... you miss the point entirely. To continue your analogy: it is like paying a Lincoln price-and getting mostly Lincoln stuff, but learning it has a 4 cylinder 2 cycle engine in it, and 13

Ed, I tend to agree with you on this one. There must be more going on here than meets the eye, so to speak. I strongly suspect that the display being mono is one of the cost trade-offs that had to be

Actually the designer of the green round cornered Heathkits had worked on the S-Line at Collins, so they have some of the same heritage. There were certain things used in Collins (PTO and mechanical

So what is everyone willing to pay for a colour screen on top of the $3300.00? 4500?, 5500? 6000? whats your limit because the $3300.00 to most buyers does not seem to be a problem. Jeff ve3ios -- Or

Maybe the color display should be an added cost option. The buyers who want it could spend the extra money. I'm not an analog engineer but I would imagine that the addition of a color display would o

Perhaps the reason it is not in color is because there is not enough information to be displayed that requires color? In a man machine interface color is reserved for those situations that truly requ

My God...there is a simple solution to all of this... Include a color video port (e.g., SVGA) on the rear of the Orion. The video port could be made an option: For $100 or so, a PC-compatible video
