An Orion replacement, eh?  What features does John want to  replace?

Note  that with the (re)acquisition of the Commander amps from Palstar, it 
was noted  that new products may be "private labeled" for another amateur 
radio  manufacturer.

Kenwood, Alinco, Ten-Tec and Elecraft are about the  only manufacturers 
without "flagship" amps (not downplaying the new Elecraft,  but power-wise some 
will want "more).

Would it be out of line for  Ten-Tec to partner with AN Wireless on a new 
amp? It's unlikely to be  solid-state or auto-tune, sadly. I'd be happy 
seeing a version of the  Centurion that came with 3-500ZGs and could put 3800 to 
4000VDC, key-up, on  the plates through a full-wave bridge, and had adequate 
cooling, bandswitches,  etc for legal limit.

Call it the Legate or Consul, with the  Pro-Consul having three tubes.

As for John's comment, some months  ago John Henry let slide that an Orion 
replacement is schedule before some  other projects--I think he was being 
asked about amplifiers. I've already  submitted a couple of names for  
consideration.
