[TenTec] Orion

[Bernard(wtrone)]

    I really wonder what percentage of Orion's have these problems?  I have
had mine since March of last year and have had NO problems with it.  It
works just like it should.

    However, I don't jump and download each software revision as it is
released.  I wait a month or so before I try it.  That way I can decide if I
want it and judge what the difficulty with it may be.  I do the same thing
with upgrades from Microsoft.

    It would be interesting to know how many Orions there are versus how
many IC-7800s!  I don't know about the rest of you, but I heard about a few
problems that were discussed on the ICOM reflector.  I don't care who makes
it, you are not going to have a "perfect" software defined radio.  Just wait
until the new Yaesu radio hits the street!

    Just one man's opinion.

        73,


        Bernard, WA4OEJ
