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

[Duane A Calvin]

Same here - I still have the original Orion, and it is by far the most
terrific rig I've owned.  Yes, a couple of glitches here and there that
still need tweaking, but, over all, an outstanding radio.  I'd love to be
able to enjoy the O2's color display, but I can't justify the cost of the
upgrade to myself.  I'm sticking with what works.  No, I don't care for
koolaid - I've owned all kinds of rigs.

        73,  Duane
