Kevin, it sounds like you're looking for a certified
100% bug-free radio and this will keep you on the
Orion sidelines. I consider its quirks relatively
minor compared to the performance and enjoyment I get
from the rig, and I've used it quite intensively over
the past 15 months under tough condx. BTW, no lockups
here with latest firmware and I wouldn't even know
whether the bandscope works or not.
