I too think the "Gold Trim" will make the Orion look "Cheesy"! Also, the nameplate looks too large for the radio, even though it is a large transceiver. The Specifications, of the unit, far outweight the little minor details mentioned above! Looks like it will be a "Winner" for Ten-Tec! (And Us!) 72/73, Carl, WN3DUG Ten-Tec Model 544 Triton IV
