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

[Steven Moore]

John,

If you are referring to contesting or dxing compared to racing a car I disagree.  Everything on my 'ready' car 
worked as described when delivered and continues to do so.

As to tweaking are you referring to the orion or the car?

If you mean to suggest that an orion is like a race car then it should be sold as such with disclaimers saying 
this unit has no warrantee and may blow up or certain functions may or may not work and may quit working at 
any time.

Are you suggesting that orion owners should have to put up with these flaws on a continuing basis and that the 
way they operate is behind the flaws?
