========================================
 
I did the same thing about a year ago, and was promptly  moderated and 
perhaps still am, so if ya screws up, ya pays the price.  No  body ever said oh poor 
baby to me and lets give him another chance, so suck it  up and pay your 
dues.. :)
 
.. by the way this is still the Ten Tec reflector,  the  orion only reflector 
is a different group.  So I currently have an original  Orion, a scout with 
all modules, a corsair II with ext vfo, an omni -d with  matching power supply 
, a triton 4 with power supply, digital read out and  matching tuner, I guess 
that qualifies me as a Ten Tec Person.
 
 along with those I also have a  ts 2000, ic 746  pro, ft 847, ft 101 zd, the 
two 857 d's, and most have either or both an  amplifier ( from an alpha 87a 
on the orion , at500/ 2 KL on the 746, als 600 on  the ts2000) and several ldg 
tuners from the AT-1000 to the z 11's)
 
I have taken to reading this reflector in digest form, and  have limited my 
postings mostly due to the nit picking and repetition of  minutae.  
 
The Orion is a great rig, and contrary to what is often stated  here, a super 
contest and dx machine. I have enough junk to compare it to, and I  use it 
the most. 
 
Ten Tec has treated me well and in fact much better than the  folks on this 
reflector some times, and my big problem is that folks see the  repetition of 
the little hiccups of the orion ver this or that running software  ver this or 
that, and get scared away from buying an orion.
 
Folks if Ten Tec looses too many customers from the folks  reading this 
reflector, their amateur business may someday go away.  I say  lets support Ten 
Tec, and indicate that the earth shattering problems discussed  to death here, 
are actually pretty insignificant in the use and ability of the  best radio ever 
made for under $5000.
 
Just my opinion, Your Mileage May Vary
