Dick,
Great radio. I read the manual before I got the radio, I watched the DVD
before I started to use the radio. I went back and re-read sections of the
manual and re-watched sections of the DVD... I had no problem getting the
radio
to work right off. I am very happy with the way it works. I can hear
things I can't work with 100 watts and a G5RV antenna, at least when I am
working
against the KW's with the six element beams in a pile-up.
I didn't want the bells and whistles, I wanted a great radio. Check out
ON4UN's new book, he has dual Orion's...
73, Steve

Hi Steve.... I've been looking at the Orion for several years now
wondering if it the radio for me. Today I received and viewed the DVD
on the Orion from Ten Tec. Wow! there is so much to learn about this
radio to make it perform correctly. I watched Scott W4PA work with the
parameters of the radio for 40 minutes and was mind boggled! What is
your honest assessment of the Orion? Is this radio ready for
"primetime" or it still in development? After watching the DVD, I was
less convinced that I wanted to replace my TS-950SDX than before.
