I will be curious to learn if the Orion will have two tuning knobs;
one for main,  other for the dual rcv/xmit side,  as is done with
the other folks 1000 series rigs.  Seems two tuning knobs are
almost essential for true SO2R users on two bands at the same
time.

Of course,  there will be an A/B button,  maybe a REV as on the
Omni which gave access to the other VFO.  Guess will just
have to wait to see,  hi.  Looking forward to those photos
from Charlotte!
