[TenTec] E-Ham Bad Orion Review

[KD7EFQ at aol.com]

Hello, anyone notice the latest Bad Orion Review by N7XCH on E-ham?  I just 
find it extremely strange that some people are having so much trouble with this 
radio while others keep reporting no problems. I know some of the older 
generation are vehemently against putting up with any little glitches etc. that are 
common in most computer defined electronics of ALL kinds today. ( I am also 
amused by the posts on here By Sinisa Hristov...I always think of the word 
Sinister upon seeing his name Hi Hi.. But he does keep me grounded and cautious 
when I think I'm getting Orion fever.)

  While I do think some people who get an Orion just aren't smart enough to 
operate or appreciate one,  I also see more advanced operators having minor 
problems as well. I'm 
now thinking of waiting until the next big advance...say Orion II (or A or 
whatever) with digital modulation before upgrading. I am seeing too many Paragon 
flashbacks with Orion in it's current state. 73.  Todd  KT0DD
