Re: [TenTec] 7/20/05: Ten-Tec announces ORION II

["A. Sewell" <n5na@att.net>]

I'm a bit surprised that an upgrade can't (won't) be offered for at 
least the processor(s) and possibly the display.  That would be my main 
interest in an upgrade.  Otherwise, as processor technology continues to 
improve, there will be an Orion III, Orion IV, etc. even though the RF 
portion of the rig may not need updating.
