I have to admit, at first glance, the Orion is the UGLIEST Tentec I ever
saw. I had no urge to rush right out and buy one. Every time I see an Omni
or Corsair II, I have this urge to buy. Not so with the "new look" stuff.
Just another rig from the cookie cutter. I guess my Paragon isn't too bad.
I can live with it a little longer. What I really wanted was Paragon with a
FT-1000MP under the hood.

Look for ALL Ten-Tec gear to receive (ugh) Black covers late 2002 per
Scott when I complained about the Orion's Black color.
Too bad IMHO.
