(And a bit of bragging: I was thinking about it the whole time I was
running the Disney Marathon this morning. Visions of an Orion II were dancing
through my head for many miles.)

Been there and done that! (Well, not the marathon part.) It is a nice
radio, but for sanity's sake, it's still only a radio. Don't spend the
kids' tuition money on it...
My Orion is a fine rig, but every once in a while I realize that my
trusty Kenwood TS-520S can do much of what the Orion can, for less than
10% of the price on today's market. It is possible for mortals to go in
and repair things, it's more EMP resistant, and there are absolutely no
firmware problems...
I hope you enjoy the new rig!
