[TenTec] Misc. Orion comments

[Adam Farson]

no....actually HRO's price of $2539 for the 756Pro II (even including the
free PS125) is in line with the price I paid for mine at Dayton 2003.
Traditionally, Icom start discounting a radio when they have a new product
offering in the wings.

I do not believe that Icom are particularly exercised over the Orion. The
756Pro II enjoys a substantial, world-wide non-amateur marketplace from
which the current Orion implementation is locked out by reason of its
amateur-bands-only architecture (sub-receiver excepted). In any event, the
756Pro II and the Orion are in different price classes.

Cheers for now, 73,
