[TenTec] LDG Tuner in Orion II?

[John Nason / NA9U]

Before I got the Orion II I was greatly disappointed
that it did not have a memory tuner.  Now that I have
it I see that it is probably irrelevant and in some
cases advantageous to not have memories.  

If you don't have a tuner and want one now, the LDG is
the way to go.  But IMHO, the non-memory TT tuner is
FB as well.
