Thanks for your critique.....   I read the review last evening, and was just
astounded at the lack of REAL information (in the commentary).

However, if one looks closely at the test results and the "not specified"
Icom parameters, plus the shortened first dit and fast rise/fall CW waveshape,
they get a chance to make up their own mind about it.

It's interesting that one reviewer ended his commentary, with words
to the effect that, "but I still have not tried the TenTec Orion yet....etc"

Nice to see that....   but I agree completely with your critique...
