Gene,
Something is wrong with your computer...The Caps button is stuck on...In the internet world it is the same as shouting at everyone.
Please see if you can get it fixed.
73,
Lee

     I feel this sad situation.   Did the complaints on this web site lead
o disillusionment by the good people at TenTec?   We had an active forum
or the O2 but it was ignored perhaps because it became irrationally
ritical at times.   Now we seem to have an Orion II which is no longer
eing developed -too bad.   There is great amount that is right about the
II but it seems to now be frozen.   I now own both OII and K3 like many
ther people who read this and the Elecrafter site regularly.   Go to the
lecrafter site and one finds the owners active engaged with the consumers
n an amazing way.  
 
     I still use my Orion II sometimes in preference to the K3.   For one
hing the external pod of the OII is very useful in contests when one does
ot have software controlling the computer.   Both are very good radios but
he Orion II seems to have become a product of the past.   Future
evelopment seems unlikely though I will probably purchase an Orion III if
t ever comes out.   I suppose we complained too much and we have been
ropped.   Perhaps I will be eating humble pie and I would not mind doing
o.   What ever happened to the new PCB to improve the Frequency display did
he threats and hostile comments of some turn the good people of the mother
hip off?   I do know one thing and that is that many of the people who use
o be on this site are not on the Elecrafter site.   It is exciting to own a
adio which is still being developed though not everyone feels this way.
     Well, I remain an Orion II user.   The radio is not for sale and I hope
o see further improvements but am not counting on it.   TenTec lead the way
owards greatly improved receivers.   Thank you TenTec for leading the way.
