Jim,
I'm sure your ORION will get to you soon and in good condition. The
shipping box is very stout. The bad news is the bands sound awful and
there are hardly any signals (even non-DX) to copy.
The latest firmware load 1.341 has corrected a bunch of minor anoyances
so you should do the upload ASAP when your rig arrives.
If I can copy the NCDXF KH6 beacon on 14.100 I will let you know.
Maybe your first QSO could be ORION to ORION!
GL & 73,
Bill - K6WLM
