[TenTec] I think he's got it!

[Martin Ewing]

K8DIT: "Tec design and performance draws from design ideology less manipulated
by committees of engineers and delivers more of a rough hewn adventurful
radio experience."

Let's post that in big type.

And we have a rough hewn adventureful bunch of critics here, too.  Fair enough!

Put me down in favor of high-quality user interfaces.  Orion isn't the best, IMO.  (Even so, I'm a happy owner.) High-res, color, or even grayscale displays have their place.  What TT has provided - a 320 x 240 x 1-bit display with limited contrast ratio - is truly spartan.  

I'm sure Orion II will address some of these issues, at an appropriate price.
