[TenTec] Orion versus ??

[Tommy]

Hello Dan,

Yes, the menu is rather intuitive. The key factor especially with 
programmable AGC, something previously not available to users, users 
must take some time to study  the manual and various documents on 
the subject of AGC parameters, then it too, is intuitive.

What one 'needs' in terms of performance depends only on how they 
operate their own station. High performance is not a requirement for 
everyone, but if high performance is available, why would you settle 
for less? While setteling for 'less' is really OK, if you really 
don't need it.
