I have the Pegasus and Orion on the N4PY Pegasus and Orion Control Programs.  I operate around 75% of the time using Carl's programs on the Orion and of course 100% of the time with the Pegasus.

I operate so much with Carl's program with my Orion I forget how some of the Front Panel Controls work and have to read the manual again.

Two years ago I told Scott at Ten-Tec " Bring the Orion out in the Pegasus package, drop the second receiver and I will be at the front of the line to get one".  I still would be at the front of the line today.  I love the Orion and find it the best CW radio I have ever used.  Now before some of you go and say "well what have you used or owned", well I had one of the first Omni VI Plus out, I still have my Omni C, Pegasus, T-Kit 1340, Century 21, PM-2 and PM-2B.  I can not forget my first Ten Tec Radio, the Late and Great Triton IV Digital (Model 544).  I have also had and used the Argo 556 and Argonault V.  

I have been looking at the Flex Radio, it is interesting and I may have one down the road.  I have to upgrade my computer first.  Computer control is the next big jump in ham radio so get on the wagon now.
