Warren......   while you can't wait to see and hear it ;
It looks like a lot of us will step up and shell out the 3+K...& . buy it.....

That is what the marketplace needs, a TT that will woop the other guy's big boxes. Bill's marketing sez: you have your DXer's 756pros & MPV and I'll bet big money that they both outsell the omni6+, plus a Kenwood. That makes the omni the # four big radio seller, either way. By the time you get to #4 , following three big sellers, the unit count is WAY down. If ICOM and Yaesu do not show a BIG new KILLER radios AT DAYTON..( I don't consider the Kenwood, or MKV or 756 close to the Orion) TEN TEC may finally be able to generate a large sales number ( for them) of a very expensive radio. That is great for TT, great for US, for USA and for those who want a very cool smaller TT radio. TT can then distill down the technology, that we'll (ORION) be paying for and implement into a $1800-$2200 radio. This could be the way TT doesn't have to spread their engineering expense across the sales volume of OMNI,( at fourth place) but across a substantially larger number approaching those of a Yacomwood.
Hallelujah, hang on for a great ride.......
