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

[William Addams]

This was another issue that we can't find in my friends shack
This is one of several issues that several people had really complained hard to TenTec about, and it turned out to be their own shack setup.
Please exchange information on these issues, so that they can be narrowed down to the real problems that TenTec needs to resolve.
I know if I were TenTec, and I continued to get complaints that I couldn't reproduce at TenTec, I would get frustrated with the reporters also. Hence you would have a stalemate, where both aren't satisfied.
If someone posts a problem here, and someone else does not see this problem, then please indicate that you don't have this issue.
Otherwise people will tend to follow the squeaky wheel, after all, its the one that gets greased.
Instead of finding out why the persons shack is at fault.

Regards,
Wil
