[Orion] ORION FOR SALE

[Richard Hemingway]

It is with great reluctance that I find that I have to sell my Orion. 
It is without a doubt the finest ham radio that I have owned. It was 
purchased March 15, 2004.  Since I live in a retirement apartment I 
have used it 98% of the time on PSK31.  I have not exceeded 35 watts 
and I am a non-smoker.

I returned it to Ten Tec on August 30, 2005, for upgrading the 
firmware (I use an Apple G5 and Virtual PC did not work for the 
upgrade).  TT upgraded the Orion by updating the syntheizer board, 
the power distribution board, the ALC circuit on the I.F. converter 
board, the MIC power supply circuit on the CPU/DSP board, added  RF 
filter to MIC cable, reflashed the chip and checked alignment and 
operation and performed a 24hour burn-in.  It is in like new 
condition.

In short they performed their excellent service and returned it in 
four days.  I can not say enough for either the Orion or Paul Clinton 
the service manager.

The Orion comes with a bag of goodies, hand mike, power cord and 
accessory cable.  It does not have the tuner.

The price is $ 2,500.00 plus shipping.
