[TenTec] Repair history for Orion

[K9RT at aol.com]

Sounds a bit above normal to my experience.
My original Orion went back one time for a bad subreceiver encoder.
My O2 so far has been trouble free after 2 years.
Strangely my new K3 factory built went back for a bad subreceiver encoder  
also which was quickly returned.

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.
