The Cons of the Ten Tec Orion:
1. No Color Sreen.
2. No handle.
3. Key Jack on front panel.
4. No PTT
5. No free mic. , antenna tuner, fan or seperate sevice manual.
6. No art deco faceplate.
7. No free p.s.
8. No coupons or discounts.
9. Not widely distributed.
10. Too much empty space within the cabinet.
Did I miss anything?
Can't see that number 10 is a "con".......IMHO no empty space in the
cabinet would be the "con" same goes for under the hood of an automobile.
take a look under the hood of a 47 Chevy compared to a 2004. See the
difference. So what you may ask.......now replace a defective fan belt on
each automobile.....get the picture or for that matter add an accesory or
route some wiring for your ham radio.
In the past I have be thankful of the additional space in my 544 and Omni VI
cabinet.

Ten Tec devotees however see these issues as marketing gimmicks that
detract
from the substantive differences in performance, design, and customer
service. A clear choice.
