[TenTec] Orion info

[AC5E at aol.com]

Tom, W7QF, has posted an excellent overview of the Orion. From the operating 
side, mine works both with my 87A and the Titan. Very convenient, since I can 
essentially search and pounce for DX and check in the local traffic net AT 
THE SAME TIME. 

On the other side of the circuit, I just came from a meeting of hams who know 
me, and my voice, very well. Everyone was impressed, many with the SSB audio 
and several with the CW note. A half dozen of the gang are coming over this 
weekend to put their hands on the rig. 

And - a local brought his latest and greatest rig on earth over for a 
shootout. He left muttering something about a new rig coming out next month 
and then we would see which rig was top dog! 

All in all, it's the best rig I have tried and it's going to be awfully hard 
to equal; much less beat.
