[TenTec] Repair history for Orion

[John K Gotwals]

Listed below is the repair history for my Orion. I have been very happy with 
Ten-Tec's service, but I am curious if my service history for my Orion 
approximates the experiences of others.

Orion purchased new from factory in August, 2005
Replaced fried logic board components in March, 2007
Replaced bad capacitors on power distribution board in July, 2007
Replaced bad display and bw encoder in December, 2008

Luckily it is only a one-hour drive from my house to Ten-Tec, so I did not 
need to go through the pain of packing  and unpacking the Orion for shipment 
by carrier.

Does this repair history seem about right for an electronic unit as complex 
as an Orion? I should mention that my operating environment has sometimes 
been in an rf-hot environment.
