Are you just telling us you like your radio?  That's fine.  Keep it.  
Why come over here and wax negatively about a radio you don't 
seem to have owned?  I haven't gone to the Icom lists and bashed 
the radios there that "I read about in the groups" ... (and there was 
plenty to read).  Heck, I even owned some, and didn't go the Icom 
groups to gloat over having gotten rid of them.

This seems to be an Icom-guy thing (no intent of starting the brand 
wars again), but they keep showing up to tell us about the bad 
things they hear about the Orion.  I wonder why they even care?

What's your PRO worth two years down the line?

Why do these kinds of posts keep showing up?  "I read in the 
groups ..."  In a lot of cases, what you read in the groups is of less 
value than what you find on the wall in the stall.

So?  If you've owned one and given your personal (and hopefully 
rational) arguments for passing it on, fine.  you're certainly welcome 
not to like it.  Otherwise, it's just a troll.
