Through my commercial contacts, I have established that the price point will
compare favorably with the Orion. However as an innovative marketing
approach, Icom is offering a $1,000 owner loyalty rebate to current Icom
owners. As an incentive to "cross over customers" a $2000 "welcome" rebate
will be awarded to current TenTec users. After all $$$ that's what it's about.
The most amazing part of the rebate scenero is even "swap out"provision for
current Orion owners. gee, I wonder what those technical types in the Far East
will do with all those new TenTecs... Larry GreenbergN5BEA--- On Sat 03/13,

initially. There has been some discussion on the 7800 group at Yahoo that Icom
is "looking" at how best to do it.It is unclear, but if it's not in the initial
release, then it may be necessary for early adopters to ship the radio off to
get the feature -- can't download the download update until you can download ..
