Greetings to everyone,
I have been downsizing my station recently and am now prepared to take the next step in this process. I am am not losing interest in Ham Radio. I am just going through a "reality check" and the reality is that the Orion is simply too much radio for me.
I will possibly regret this later BUT I am going to sell it anyway. FIRST: I will state that the rig is TRULY in "like new" condition and has not seen any excessive use. It has not been moved off my desk since I got it and this is a smoke free environment.
My Orion has the internal antenna tuner and all of the optional roofing filters. I have the original box, packing materials, manual, cables and other items that came with the rig. I am also including a Model 705 desk microphone that is also in like new condition.
My decision to sell the Orion is VERY recent and I have not even decided on a price yet. The Orion cost just shy of $4000.00 and I do realize that I am going to be hurt a bit by selling it. I just do not want to require the services of a TRAUMA CENTER due to this sale.
I will accept REASONABLE offers while contemplating a fair (to you and me) price for this rig.
There is NOTHING wrong with the rig. It has the latest firmware and is in perfect operating condition. As I said previously; It is just TOO MUCH radio for me! I am more of a casual operator and am quite happy with an "Old Fashioned" rig like a Paragon II or Omni VI.
ALSO for sale is my remaining 6N2 rig. I do not have a decent 6 meter antenna or room to put one up. I also use my HT for most communications on 2 meters. I want to get $525.00 (including shipping CONUS) for that.
Please reply directly. Thanks and 73, Bill
