[TenTec] Orion reflector discussions and others

[Ron Pfeiffer]

I have been reading this reflector for several years and have observed the 
same behavior three
times now.  When the Jupiter was first released there was an avalanche of 
discontent wrought
upon this reflector.  In time it died down and the Jupiter became a stable 
product.  Then the
ARGO V was released and out of the wood work came the problem tellers and 
that too died down.
Now we have the Orion and the same thing is happening.  In time it will die 
too.

My point is: has everyone who voiced a problem already contacted Ten Tec and
exhausted their support?  I ask this because I had a long talk with the 
gentleman at Ten Tec
at the New England Boxborough show.  They all emphasized that they will make 
every radio they
sell work  "period".  But you have to contact them.

This forum is a place to go when Ten Tec has failed us and we seek other 
amateurs creative
investigations.  The Orion, etc are not kits they are assembled products 
that should work and
we should demand Ten Tec stand behind them.  They do a MUCH better job that 
the other
big three!

If 20 people complain about the same problem on this reflector but only one 
contacts Ten
Tec do you think that Ten Tec thinks there is a problem?  Thank goodness 
that Ten Tec is
proactive company that reads this reflector and uses the information.

It is unfair to Ten Tec to slam their new products in this medium before 
they are given a chance
to "make right" your issues.  Look what happened to the DELTA!

If you want to rebuttal please send direct to n1zsw at hotmail.com and avoid 
clogging the
reflector.
