[TenTec] Ten-Tec and Years End Thoughts

[Tommy]

To keep the peace, I will ignore your references to me in this post. 
But FYI, your December 24, 2004 email to this reflector was just 
posted on this reflector yesterday.

After reading a reply of my December 24th, 2004 post to the 
reflector that someone revisited yesterday, I still think what I 
posted was good advice for prospective buyers of the Orion to listen 
to guys who are happy with their Orion as well as those who are not.

On balance,  the Orion is getting better as time goes by and I enjoy 
operating mine everyday.
With the new RF gain noone has to be continually be messing with the 
AGC settings as someone else referred to in reference to a pinball 
machine, nor do I have to be continually playing with my mike cord 
or my RIT to get it to work.  These referencces to the Orion are not 
accurate and fair in my opinion.

However, there are still some issues to be fixed and the engineering 
staff is working hard to do just that.  There is still a three week 
waiting time to get an Orion shipped if you Order one today, which 
indicates that the Orion is a very popular rig, despite the attempts 
of a few to malign the rig as much as they can on this reflector.
