[TenTec] O-II Thoughts

[Gary Strong]

Bernie,
I've only had mine a few days so my thoughts are limited.  I moved from a
Corsair II that I owned for over 15 years to the Orion II.  The radio is
fantastic.  The receiver is unbelievable and the ability to turn the pass
band down to 100 hz and still hear the signal.  Many, many options to set up
the rig, so many it will take me months to learn them all.  That being said,
the basic operation took only an hour or so learn.

No lockups, bugs, etc. so far on my rig.  Its working perfectly.  I am
looking for a list of different setups that people use for various types of
operating.  Anyone have something like this?

Guys and Guyettes,
  After many years of blissfully enjoying my Omni VI+, I am very close  to 
buying an Orion II.  In the process, I can't help but notice what  appears
to be 
an understandably long list of needed software fixes.
  I would greatly appreciate the group's sense of how those glitches  affect

you all.  Generally speaking, do you find the latest release  functionally 
solid?  I'm not too worried about some of the minor things,  but I wouldn't
want 
to buy just yet if the radio has fundamental operating  issues.  Are there 
lock-ups?  Are basic functions reliable?  Is  it ready for prime time?
  Thanks.
