I haven't heard anyone here ever mention of the Orion tuning knob/s
concentricity, or lack of....
-=Rog-K9RB=-

ir knobs have oversize holes and when tightened to the shaft are off
center. That is something mechanically simple, wonder how well the
craftsmanship is on the rest of their products?

** I have taken apart the Orion and I can tell you I am very impressed
with the mechanical work. I have never seen so many RF shielding covers
in any rig. All done very nicely. The mother/daughter board arrangement 
is excellent. The use of encoders instead of pots for all the knobs (not
just the main tuning knob) says they will never get noisy.
