If I were given the opportunity to re-design the front panel of
the Orion,
it would be at least twice the size and have two complete sets of
knobs for
both the main and sub-receivers including a lot of the menu
items, like AGC.
But, I guess I'd be the only one interested in buying a behemoth
like that.
