[TenTec] Re: Orion Beta Testing

["Ron Martin" <royalct@inr.net>]

Gee Joel,

Since you don't have an Orion, I don't know how you could make the below 
statements.  I received mine in September of this year and have loaded the 
subsequent software uploads.  Being a former engineering division chief 
(software design) this upgrades are nothing more than tweaks.  Heck, the 
last upgrade that added new functionality (adjust the DSP filter skirts) 
would have required you to buy an new radio if it was an Icom (756, 756 PRO 
or Pro II). 

Any one that believes flawless operation out of the box, car showroom, 
airplane factory, etc.... well................enough said. 

TT has their act together with the Orion, in fact better than the asian 
crowd.... 

Ron .... NU1U
