[TenTec] Orion/Orion II issues and new offerings

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

FWIW, with the Orion lineage holding the high end (in more ways than one) of the product line, and the Argonaut lineage holding the low end (but only in pricing), I'd love to see two rigs replace the Jupiter when the time comes:  

-- A direct replacement/upgrade of the Jupiter series in the $2K - 2.5K range, 
-- And a high-power (ie 100 W) version of the Argonaut taking over the $1.2K slot the Jupiter currently holds (think of it as the new Argosy, Triton or Delta?).  

But let's face it, this is all market driven, and unless there's sufficient evidence that a market exists for these rigs (and that TenTec can find a profitable niche in that market) it's all blue-sky thinking.

BTW Peg, have fun (again) in FP land, and with any luck, I'll have a station set up at the new house in time to work you!

73, ron w3wn

Actually, I'd bet only a small subset of people on the list give a rip
about Orion/Orion II issues, which is what Ron seems to be referring
to. That's one of the drawbacks of being on digest - delete and filter
don't work.

For future TT rigs, I will once again put in a plea for a mobile 100W
Jupiter Jr. or Delta III. It will take a very good rig to displace my
beloved Yaesu FT-900 CAT for travel and mobile use.

I'm sure all on the list would agree that we would like to see some
sort of listing on the TT website of the known issues that are 
being worked on....
