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

[Steven Moore]

I don't get the comments about people hating their orions. I have not seen it. The guys pointing out problems 
to a man have all said they still like the radio.

Is it to the point that if you point out faults in a product you now hate the company or the product?

Just to play devil's advocate for a moment, are the so called ten tec faithfull brainwashed? Makes as much 
sense as the hating remarks.
