[TenTec] How much should an ORION-III cost?

[Jeff Sumner]

The Orion line is still fantastic, at any price. Just because "better"  
comes out doesn't mean that I'm about to trade in my radios.
Sorta like high end cameras. I love my Leica and the lenses that make  
it so fantastic. No reason to trade it in. Consumerism is not apropos  
if I am happy.
I bought my Orion because someone within a block of me loved to run  
high power on PSK. That's not a problem anymore.
