[TenTec] DX info / Future Tentec gear

[Curt Krelic]

Gee. I must have lived wrong. I can't afford just ONE little ole Orion.  Too late to start over, guess I'm stuck with my Century 22.

On the other hand, a successful design team is a form of necessary insurance for any company. No new products equals no business, sooner or later. 

However, if local rumor is correct at least a couple of the local hams who would not buy an Omni VI+ because it did not have dual receive are selling rigs and getting ready to place an order for an Orion. 

As for me, I will order my second Orion as soon as the house/shack remodeling is far enough along someplace besides a couple of apple boxes to put it. And the third hopefully in the fall when I make a permanant move to the farm. 78 acres in the country is a lot better for antennas than an 80 X 100 foot lot in town.
