[TenTec] HAPPY ORION OWNER

[w9ge]

Count me as one of the happy Orion owners.  No high speed qsk (I stay below 40 wpm), no amp interface problems (I use the ptt/vox lines on my TT 425 and Alpha 78).  One reset during the last month (while sending a series of ten qtc's during WAE, yep he waited the ten seconds it took to reset the radio) and one trip back to the mother ship to repair a "premature" component failure.  Mine is almost a year old and would not trade it for anything else available.  All other radios are now on the back shelf, and not hooked up. Orion remains the best receiver available for low bands and contest work.

I gander at this reflector, and have learned much from the assembled masses.  Thank you!  But, I would rather hunt for rare dx than talk here about the little bitty itty bitty problems with firmware etc.  The present is good.  The future is bright, awaiting the next firmware releases. 73 bob de w9ge
