[TenTec] Re: Orion

[Toby Pennington]

Jim, most of us with Orions are very happy with the performance of our rigs. 
After each major update we go through this trauma on the reflector.  I am 
very happy with the new update which makes the Orion an incredible CW rig. 
There are always a few minor bugs after each update that will be cleared out 
within a few weeks. Most of the complaints you read are coming from the same 
people who have been complaining all year after each update, or sometimes in 
between. I am not sure of their particular issues, and I wish I were close 
to them so I could try to help out in some way. I do not know the way they 
are operating their rig or what other issues may be effecting their 
operation.  Expectations may be set too high by some also.

One complaint tonight was about RF in the mike and audio curcuit.  This is 
an issue that I also have had in the past and about every ham I know at one 
time or another has had to deal with RF problems. However, the high pitched 
verbage posted here does not solve anything.

Go ahead with your purchase of the Orion.  I have had excellent support from 
Ten Tec over these past 15 months since I first bought my Orion, plus I have 
had good support from my fellow hams. I have a first  production  run Orion 
that I bought as a demo and I think you will love it after you get the 
basics down about the operation.

Good Luck!      Toby W4CAK
