[TenTec] Orion Preview

[Bill Steffey]

Warren......   while you can't wait to see and hear it ;
       It looks like a lot of us will step up and shell out the 3+K...& . 
buy it.....

That is what the marketplace needs, a TT that will woop the other guy's big 
boxes.
Bill's marketing sez:  you have your DXer's 756pros & MPV  and I'll bet big 
money that they both outsell the omni6+, plus a Kenwood. That makes the 
omni the # four big radio seller, either way. By the time you get to #4 , 
following three big sellers, the unit count is WAY down. If ICOM and Yaesu 
do not show a BIG new KILLER radios AT DAYTON..( I don't consider the 
Kenwood, or MKV or 756 close to the Orion) TEN TEC may finally be able to 
generate a large sales number ( for them) of a very expensive radio. That 
is great for TT, great for US, for USA and for those who want a very cool 
smaller TT radio. TT can then distill down the technology, that we'll 
(ORION) be paying for and implement into a $1800-$2200 radio. This could be 
the way TT doesn't have to spread their engineering expense across the 
sales volume of OMNI,( at fourth place) but across a substantially larger 
number approaching those of a Yacomwood.
Hallelujah, hang on for a great ride.......
