[TenTec] Orion II - Initial Reactions and Impressions

[George K]

Just received my OII. First impressions are:
1. The sweep is much faster than my O. Almost instantaneous!
2. The color screen, wow, it is sure bright. Set mine to "low". On "high" 
you can see the OII from down the street! To boot, there are 8 different 
color schemes.
3. The band stacking registers can now be accessed instantaneously, no 
waiting between presses.
4. Still no white lettering for the power, mic, cw, A, and B but this, I can 
live with.
My Orion is going out tomorrow, 12/28/05, for trade in.
I'm quite satisfied!!! Ten Tec did a nice job and it's made in America.
