[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Big mistake selling the 238C.
Should have hung onto that.

John,   I hope you can sell the Orion.   If the RIt is still 
intermittent,  you may have to make allowances in price for that problem,
as it cannot be fixed at all in some of the radios from what I 
understand.   I have now sold all my Ten Tec gear as I don't trust what 
is going on now with a new owner.  I got 1500 out of my Orion,   and got 
2500 out of the Orion 2.  But both radios were perfect.   I sold the amp 
for 1500 and the 238C tuner for 530 bucks.   So,  just got the K line in 
here and I am satisfied with the elecraft gear for now.

Good Luck with the sale.     Toby K4NH
