[TenTec] Orion -- Thinking Inside the Box

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

Duane:

Yes, I agree.  We do use the reflector to generate some "spirited debates".
Some have difficulty in accepting such and some have difficulty in writing
such. Me, gee I try to muddle through without offending many if any.  Most
often I fail.  Shucks, send them on.  I have no problem with anyone's idea.

Looking for a great tranceiver from Tentec
