Evidently the Orion shown was not operating --
back panel photo shows no power cable to the
DC input plug (same two terminal connector as on
the Pegasus,  not the four terminal on the Omni's).

Therefore the front panel photo is showing a "fake"
display on the LCD,  or whatever panel.  Was it just
a drawing on a cardboard fitting the panel location?
The  real display "to be"  still being kept secret?

On the other hand,  I seem to recall someone posting
that Scott had demonstrated the use of the remote
knob showing independent tuning of the two rcvrs while
the transmit frequency of VFO A was "locked";  maybe
I misread.  But if so,  then the unit must have been had
been operating,  at least for that demo.

So,  was the box operating,  or just an emply case with
the front panel sort of "mocked" up
