I don't see it as that black and white. People get frustrated when they can't
figure out someone's intentions - I'll leave it as simply stated as that.

Again, I don't see it as "accepting the Orion operation the way it is". I'm
convinced Eric and you are experiencing a different radio than I am, so I'm not
willing to say that we're just passing different judgements on the same radio.
If I had the rfi problems that Eric had or the amp keying problems that you had
and couldn't solve the issues, I would have long moved on to a different radio.
But for me, the Orion is simply a tool and right now it's the best tool for
the jobs I give it. Why would I continue to use it if it wasn't the best tool?
If I DID find a better tool for my particular use, I'd replace the Orion in a
heartbeat.
