Although my Orion 2 isn't perfect, from my perspective, it does do everything I 
expected to, and a bit more.  The sales and service personnel at TT have always 
addressed my inquiries promptly and accurately, before I owned my O2 and while 
I owned it (and I still do).

The Elecraft bulletin board is great for getting information that will get you 
about 95% there.  I sold my K2 because two items that were important to me were 
never corrected and were always taken to a private conversation between me and 
the Elecraft owners.  I had the opportunity to have a K3 (S/N 2XX) on my bench 
the same time I had the O2, the O2 performed in a superior manner to everything 
I could throw at it, including noise from appliances and overload conditions 
from W1AW.

Reading the Elecraft bulletin board, I am not convinced that they are 
addressing the Hardware issues so I opted out of the Elecraft mojo...which is 
really a bunch of people that will not criticize something they built.

Good luck with your choice.
Mike, WA1SEO
