He told  me last
night that after  reading the posts on this reflector
he was no  longer going to buy one  because of the
"problems" with   it.

sorry to hear that fellow is not going to buy an orion.  i HAVE AN  ORION, A 
COASIR ii AND OMNIC A SCOUT, A ts2000, AND FT 847, AND IC-746PRO, AND 2  FT 
857 D'S, AMONG OTHER RADIOS.  WHAT DO i USE 95 % OF THE TIME.  THEN  ORION. 
(sorry about the caps  wrong button)  
 
I find the orion the most useful rig I own. it has more adjustments and  more 
potential than any othe r rig.  it replace a ic-756.  so if he  still wants 
an orion, thell him to buy it.  tell him to really read the  reflector and he 
will see it is the same 5 or 6 people doing all the doom and  gloom.  its like 
buying a new car and then complaining that you have to put  gas in it. it is 
not that big a deal.
'
some of the O II had some initial problems and there is still the  OCCASIONAL 
software glitch. but they are fixing it as they find them.  buy  the O II and 
enjoy, it is a super rig, and ignore the 5 or 6 whon complain here  
constantly about  "slow sweeep" ( I never use it any how, )  loss of  signal when less 
that 300 cycles wide ( I usually listen to cw at 500-700 BW as  I can sort 
adjcent stations in my head), and so on
 
try it  you'll like it
