[TenTec] any real live reports yet?

[martins160@excite.com]

I wonder if anyone has heard an orion on air yet? anyone doing beta testing? the only viewing has been at two hamfests and neither had the rig powered up.
Icom has a new big rig to debut in 2003 I do not read all the bickering about that on their websites.
Ok, I have some concerns and issues as to what I'd like in that expensive new rig but I never was asked by any survey. So for now I wait to see if the gang at ten tec has heard your voices and if they will do anything other than what they have already told us.
I vote for the color screen not as a bell and whistle but for function to help identify stuff on it. it should be easy to take a color screen and adjust it to monochrome but you can't do that the other way.
a built in antenna tuner well, that should be a no brainer..all new techy wechy big rigs have them so why not?
anyone happen to notice the cooling fan is an option? what's that about?
