So what's your beef Skip? Would you rather buy a new
hardware version every couple of years? My Orion is now
18 months old and just as current as new ones being shipped
(actually even more current since I'm a beta tester).
I'll be concerned when my Orion is NOT a "work in
progress", since that will mean no more firmware updates
are being done. What's even better, is that I can influence
the changes myself. Have you tried that with one of the big
three. Have you ever gotten a personal response from the
CEO of those companies? After >16 years of producing radios
with CW clicks, Yaesu has FINALLY fixed their production
units. By contrast, Ten-Tec addressed some problems with
Orion's keying in a few months.

P.S. I suppose you never update any of your "perfect" computer
software either. :-)
