Here is a copy of the e-mail message that I sent to you yesterday. Don't know
if you got it or not. Let me know if you are interested or if I can provide
more information.

Dick:
How does $2,750 sound to you and I pay shipping (FedEx Ground) and insurance.
(Includes custom cover and shipping in factory box.)
I arrived at that price by checking the new price from ten Tec on their
remaining Orions now being built. That new price is $3,300.
Ten Tec has an Orion 565AT (with antenna tuner) available as a "demo" unit - it
comes with 1 year warranty. Their price is #3,419. If I subtract $200 for no
antenna tuner that would be $3,219. For comparison purposes we could say that
IF Ten Tec had a demo unit with no antenna tuner it would be priced at about
$3,200.
Thus the price of $2,750 is $450 to $550 less than the price of a demo or new
unit from Ten Tec.
I also have the 302R remote tuning encoder that I would sell for $120. I have a
706 microphone that I would sell for $90. I would sell the two of them for a
total of $200.
Let me know what you think.

OK Ed
Sounds about like what I'm looking for. I can always get extra filters later
if the need arises.
If the price is right perhaps we can make a deal.
Thanks

The Orion is less than a year old. It has the latest firmware. It has no extra
roofing filters - just what came with it.
It is in mint condition - covered when not in use.
I'll figure out a price and get back to you. I will be at home this evening.
Regards,
Ed

Hello Ed
I would be interested in hearing more about your Orion, in particular the
price, the age, the ROM version, any roofing filters etc.
Let me know and we can go from there.

I have an Orion (actually I have two - one with tuner and one without).
I would be willing to sell you the one without tuner - if that is your

The radio is mint - I am second owner - both of us are non-smokers. Custom made

I do not know what to say about price but will look into that tomorrow.
Let me know if you are interested and I will get you more details and a price.

Ad Message:
Anyone with a late model Orion wanting to upgrade to the new Orion 2 or just to
sell their Orion, I am looking for a late production unit which is as new with
the latest version 1.372 update. Roofing filters a plus but not necessary.
Don't
need the auto tuner.
Willing to pay a fair realistic price but not a NEW price.
Tell me what you have and what your best price shipped to Louisville, KY would
be.
Thanks
Dick K9RT

one of our cool, interactive Search Boxes to your site? See our Linking Page at

DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATIONS:
Another way to support QTH.com is through registering your domain names through
my domain name registration site, http://domains.QTH.com. Or, if you already
have a domain name for yourself (like ka9fox.com or k4ja.com) or for your club
(like w9smc.com or pvrcnc.org) or even for your ham or non-ham business...
these
domain names can be transferred to my system for as little as $9.95 per year.
The transfer also includes a 1 year domain extension. Transferring your domain
name to QTH.com could save you considerable money, compared to the $35 per year
that Network Solutions charges, and you will be supporting QTH.com at the same
time. If you are interested, either visit my site at http://domains.QTH.com,
or
drop me a note.

Subject: [TenTec] Orion
Have decided to take the plunge and am looking for a late build nice-as-new
Orion. Roofing filters would be a plus, tuner not needed but acceptable.
If you're ready to try something else or upgrade to an Orion 2, please email
me directly with what you have and your best price shipped to Louisville,
KY. If you're close enough to Louisville would be willing to meet halfway to
save chances of shipping damage, but with the price of gas today it would be
cheaper to ship than drive 200 miles!!!
Thanks
Dick K9RT
