[TenTec] Misc. Orion comments

[no body]

of course this is only my opinion, i really think with the world economy and especially the us economy so bad that all the manufacturers with the exception of maybe kenwood have reduced their prices drastically, look at the prices of the 2 meter rigs, i really that the pro is not in the same class as the orion

For what it is worth, the fellow that bought my 756 Pro II lives in New Zealand and says he has chatted a bit with the Icom rep - according to him Icom is going to start chopping the price on the ProII. Why this would be the case makes no sense to me as I am not aware of any new Icom product or "ProII" on the horizon. But I would be curious if anyone has more info on this. Continually dropping the price on rigs like the ProII could really make it tuff competition for the Orion.
