I have been talking to a guy over the last few weeks that was going to buy an Orion II. He told me last night that after reading the posts on this reflector he was no longer going to buy one because

On the contrary, the "I hate the Orion" crowd will sell their Orions at much reduced prices, so the rest of us will benefit by buying them out quickly. And if someone from the rest of us happens to f
He told me last night that after reading the posts on this reflector he was no longer going to buy one because of the "problems" with it. I am sort of in the same position. I bought and Omni C a coup
Ci,WU7R; Having owned every model from the Triton IV analog to the Orion II which arrived yesterday, I highly recommend the Omni VI Plus. (Still own a Triton IV 544 digital, Ext. VFO, ps & 160 conver
What members of the "I hate Orion II..." crowd -- cranks and curmudgeons aside -- will do is help the manufacturer improve the product. Rarely does the first production run(s) of any device meet full
The purpose of the reflector is not to be a "rah-rah" crowd for Ten Tec. We have brought up legitimate problems and constructive criticisms. You may disagree, and that is your right, but at the end o

If I had believed 1/3 of everything negative I read on the reflector, I probably would not have bought my O2 - boy am I glad I ignored them. Don't get me wrong - most of the posts are very helpful, b

Dave and Others, Dave is absolutely correct. I have never found fault with the Orion in ANY area. The Orion out-performs (by a long shot) any other radio I have owned. I read this reflector with some
Everyone needs to read these post very closely . Most of the negative post seem to be more about V2 firmware 2.056 and the Orion not 2.032 firmware and Orion II. The bugs in V2 Orion firmware don't a
John is probably right about this! 2056 for the Classic Orion needs a lot of work before it becomes a viable operating system. I am hearing few complaints on the air or otherwise about the O2. Most s
Interesting comments. I agree on the receiver but QSK performance is actually much better in the Corsair and Omni VI+. I would expect slower qsk in the Orion since it's a much more complex, cpu-drive
Sounds like a "convenient excuse" to me. If he didn't want to buy the rig, he should have just said so. Bottom line is, the Orion & Orion II are not for everyone. I've had many opportunities since he

Ci, The reflector is mostly about "finding fault", and currently, it is about finding fault with the ORION radios. As a practical matter of using the ORION II and the ORION that I had before it, they
Craig, Right on the money! It is a fact that TT is loosing sales on Orion(II) because of problems. Aside from anything said here on the reflector, many folks have heard complaints on the air during Q
