This is getting as bad as the people who get seriously bent out of shape
over the color of the dot!

Guys, can we agree that when a second model of a rig comes out, it's OK to
refer to the original (previously unnumbered) as the '1' without getting our
collective wads in a knot?

When I read "Orion 1" I understand that the writer is referring to the 565
Orion.  Sane thing when someone says "Corsair 1" instead of "Corsair", or
"Argosy 1" instead of "Argosy" (or "Argosy Analog")... etc etc etc ad
infinitum ad nauseum.

It may not be 100% technically precise... but you know what the writer
means, right?  So why pick a nit over it?

 >IT'S  ORION CLASSIC NOT ORION 1

Orion Legacy
Orion (II minus I)
Orion B/W
Orion the First

Point is, a 565 is the biggest bang for your buck in ham radio.
