[TenTec] TENTEC ORION

[Steve Berg]

I thought about getting an Orion, but since they do not cover 6 meters, 
and as that is my all time favorite band, I bought an Omni VII instead.  
So far it has done pretty well.  I am not a high-end contest operator, 
and so really don't need much in the way of an exotic radio.

In the past I have owned Paragons, Omni VI, Omni D so I am no stranger to Ten Tec rigs and equipment.  I absolutely love the Orion, it is simple but yet sophisticated in the areas where needed.  If you Omni VII owners are wondering, the VII is a fine rig but it remains a step down from the Orion and not only from the receiver aspects (dual) but also in the creature comforts.  I absolutely love the Orion and I hold out hope that Ten Tec will somehow survive and produce a rig comparable in the future.  The Rigs on the used market are absolute fantastic bargains right now, trending between the $1200 and $1500 range.  Not a better rig can be found for the money.
