After reading a couple hundred emails that just won't stop about A/B 
tests, that seem to have more to do with personal preference's and 
marketing techniques, I can only conclude a lot of us are not making 
QSOs and having fun with our new ORIONs.

I know I was fascinated with the receiver at first, but now it is down 
to enjoying using the ORION and making QSOs.  I like AM and CW.

I would still like to know those personal settings that I read about 
about 150 emails back.

I am not finding this users group very interesting or healthy, when it 
is not dealing with things that can be learned to improve our 
operational skills  using the Ten Tec Equipment.

I really do not care who likes the ORION or not.  I don't care who likes 
other radios or not.  I am interested in better ways to operate and who 
is working who!

As far as A/B testing, Statistics, and preference - for 35 years I 
worked in the UNIQUE WORLD of QUALITY.  You can repair, modify, and/ or 
manufacture a product using 1000s of processes  (the work I was 
associated with there were over 10,000 individual processes to turn out 
a final product) and if one faulty process got by the quality guy, the 
customer was sure to complain.  So quality is driven by the customer and 
every customer wants a perfect product weather it is a Rolls,  a Ten 
Tec, or a HEATHKIT Tenor.

How about getting the discussions back on track.

Happy Field Day to Ten Tec Users Group.  

I will be operating FD at the Chesapeake Amateur Radio Service (CARS), 
W4CAR, FD site on the Inter Coastal Waterway at the Deep Creek Locks - 
Chesapeake, VA.  No, I am not carrying my new toy out there this year, 
but I will come home and use it for many FD QSOs.  You can visit CARS at 
www.qsl.net/cars and see my ORION picture under ELMER.

God Bless
