Actually they had no choice. The main processor was discontinued. If
they did not come out with a new radio they would have had to stop
selling Orions.

Since they had to do a redesign to accomodate the new chip, it does seem
like the perfect time to add all of those features that everyone asked
for. 

Hopefully I'll be lucky and when I start working again and pay off my debts, 
the O2 will have driven down the price of the older rigs and I'll be able 
to buy a Corsair II.

Why a CII? I am one of the few people that believe that nothing tunes SSB
better than a PTO. Hopefully I'll stay in the minority. :-)

73, Geoff.
