John, John ...
I loved my Orion after the major bugs were fixed. I don't hate my Orion II,
although I grumble about some things. I don't hate Ten-Tec, and I have
grumbled about them, too. I don't even begin to pretend I'm a product
manager (except for my own company, of course).
That doesn't mean we can't have fruitful and useful discussion about what's
good and what's not. The Orion II is a fine radio. Just because some of us
aren't happy with some things in the new DSP code doesn't mean we hate
Ten-Tec. Anything can be better than it is.
But I agree with you and see no reason for personal attacks against any of
Ten-Tec's staff. I think they are doing everything possible, with the best
of intentions, to make things perfect. It took a while with the Orion. It
will take a while with the Orion II, depending on the time left over from
developing the Orion III (or Antares, or whatever it will be called) :-)
There's no reason to duck and run.
