[TenTec] Happy Orion owners (was question about updates)

[Steven Moore]

This is quite a list of major faults imo. You telling us a guy can't adjust the power on am? What about trying 
to drive an amp and be legal with 375 watt carrier?
    Monitor works on some modes, audio no where as good as first orion - duh this is just cheesey!
