Re: [TenTec] Orion Warranty

["Tommy" <aldermant@alltel.net>]

The bottom line is a control program should be an 'addition to' a 
radio, but not 'in place of' parts of a radio. I think a lot of us 
much rather utilize the radio rather than play with a computer. I 
doubt that a serious DX'er or contester uses control programs for 
their operations, therefore, again, the radio should work 
stand-alone.
