[TenTec] Orion Beta Testing

[Joel Mele]

I have owned an Omni VI plus for about four years.   It is the best rig I've owned (after installing INRAD 2.8 kc filters and audio mod) since 1964.

I intend to purchase an Orion when TT gets their act together with respect to the firmware.

IT is obvious that TT is providing software and then letting the customers discover the "pitfalls" and "problems."   When a manufacturer sells a $3000 plus radio, it is reasonable to expect flawless operation "right out of the box."

AM I BEING UNREASONABLE WITH THIS ASSUMPTION ?

It is in our collective best interest to have Ten-Tec, an American company, succeed.   However, the boys at TT should "clean up their act" and the software as soon as possible.

I wonder if TT approaches their military/government business in the same manner as their Amateur Radio business ?
