[TenTec] Orion in B&W

[Bill Ames]

I think I am seeing some element of purpose here. Suppose TT has done Orion
up in Black and White so they can save money on ads! Not having to spend the
extra $$$ on color ads they can give us more in the product! Now, what new
or enhanced feature can we get in trade for this color scheme totally devoid
of color?!?!

Pictures taken at the Charlotte Hamfest by AA4NN were color pictures.
Like it or not, the Orion is essentially a black and white rig, albeit
there's a choice of screen color when Ten-Tec comes up with it.
