[TenTec] WTB: OmniC & tale of woe

[Jerry Volpe]

Well a single Orion is way outside the budget of most amateurs (well at 
least me). Two Orions is well another matter altogether. You can buy a 
nice Omni-C station for probably under $600. We are talking totally 
different animals. Now I have never used an Orion. I did own a Jupiter 
(which is NOT an Orion) and got rid of it for the superior Omni-6+ and 
that was a good trade in all ways. Comparing my Omni-C and Paragon to 
the Omni-C? I used the Omni-C more. Just a pleasurable rig to use and 
very, very quiet. I am NOT saying that a 24 year-old technology is 
better, but in some ways that Omni-C was hard to beat. So if you have a 
good Omni-C and you know how to use it well think twice before you talk 
yourself into letting it go.
