[TenTec] Annual review of the Orion

[WA3FIY]

It tells me that maybe Ten Tec should reverse the path they 
followed with the Pegasus and Jupiter and make an "Orion 
NFP" (no front panel) model.  Enhance the remote control 
interface a little bit and have not only the best stand alone 
amateur radio transceiver on the market but also the best 
remote controlled transceiver available.    :-)       Maybe they 
could get the price under $3000.    WOW!  I'd buy!
