[TenTec] Fwd: Is Orion really worth it?Giventhepublishedproblems?

[Bob Henderson]

I echo Dick's comment Buck.  87A here too and an Acom 1000.  I've had no 
problem with either.  From time to time, I have monitored Orion keying 
waveform quite rigorously and have seen no sign of this.

73, Bob 5B4AGN
