Well, the votes are in and the big Orion was the hands-down winner in terms
of "built like a tank" quality and "made in the USA" service.
Even folks who liked the big Yaesu would often admit the Orion was probably
better.
Now all I have to do is convince HRO to let me trade-up my still-in-the-box
T2X w/DCU for one of the Orions.
Thanks to all on this great reflector for your help and good advice.
