Silencing TT engineers with a "gag order" is not really the answer to
the problem. The answer to the problem is greater efficiency at TT. My
friend was told (by a salesman, not an engineer) that the board was due
out soon when he purchased his Orion II. That was a major selling point
and helped sway him to buy the TT product rather than another Japanese
rig. It was the engineer who worked on this project who told me this
year (three year's after my friend bought his Orion II) that the project
was ready for final production. To answer another poster, that's not
really impatience. Maybe a little on my part, but certainly not on my
friend's part.

I applaud the open -door policy that TenTec has tried to maintain for hams, but
think it's time to change the policy.
Jack, if you're listening, now that there's a web page that we can look to for
information, and Scott has been made de-facto "point man" for info on new
releases, changes, modifications, etc. Tell the engineers to stop answering customer
questions of that nature, and defer them to Scott or someone else designated as PIO.
Besides "distressing" and "upsetting" some customers, it probably puts some
emotional hurt on the engineer, who gives out info that is correct as he knows it at the time, but
for unforeseen reasons turns out to be inaccurate.
It seems obvious to me, after reading some of these posts, that some in the ham
community would prefer to be uninformed rather than misinformed.
I'm curious to see if the post-Boxboro contingent has similar stories to post
to those posted post-Dayton.
