[TenTec] Orion 2

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Barry, you're still a young kid (hi).  
If I want to read useful information from a display, it needs to be at least
a 12" display or larger.
My bet is, I'm not the only Ten-Tec user with bad eyesight.

THEREFORE, why not just use an external display?  A standard flatscreen.
One of the problems with old rigs seems to be that the displays become
unavailable.
If the display was kept simple and the extras were fed out a vga or hdmi
port, then there would be more long-term security.

The form factor of the K3 limits it to a very small display, my main
objection.  An Orion-size display is a huge advantage.
