 I am wondering if Ten Tec is cutting
 prices to dump as much equipment as 
 possible before pulling out of amateur radio. The
 ceased/pulled of the 
 enclosure sector of their business. I spoke with Stan about
 a month ago and 
 there will not be a replacement for the Orion II. No plans
 to go beyond that 
 radio.
 
 Just a thought from a pessimist. However, remember the
 direction Collins 
 went.
