[TenTec] Used Orion 565 Prices

[Barry N1EU]

Yeah, I stand corrected - 565 price has eroded in the past few months.  I
observed this with the 566 dropping below $2500 but missed it on the 565.
These are two of the really great, best-ever hf rigs (thanks in part to the
v3 firmware) and the few common service issues in them are easily dealt
with.  If you don't already own an Orion, you should consider buying a nice
one at these prices  ;-)
