Re: [TenTec] F/S Tne Tec Orion II Model 566......Very good, but it doesn't do MARS

 That's good. I'm not a CAP or MARS member, but I suspect that being 
required to buy the more expensive equipment killed off HF operation at 
the CAP squadron level. I guess that also keeps Ten Tec in the running 
for MARS.
