[TenTec] RE: More to Orion vs Icom 756PRO II

Hey, Mike, I'll assemble your K2 kit for free -- no time restraints, of course (but it won't be geological time either!) but the price is right.  Then you can compare the K2 at your cost (rig + 2x shipping) and some other, lesser rig at your leisure.

Heck, their ought to be a premium charged just for letting us *build* it!

73,

Joe, W2RBA
