[Elecraft] OT--Ten-Tec Eagle

[Don Cunningham]

I sent my last comment to the author only, so made sure this one went to the 
reflector, hi.  Ten Tec's biggest problem is that they DON'T LISTEN to their 
customers.  I too had the Orion II, bought new, but they NEVER did solve 
firmware problems that existed from the start.  Today's users are STILL 
griping about AGC problems.  I gave up on them after 18 months and was glad 
I could sell mine.  Anyone getting into the "software radio" business needs 
programmers, and Ten Tec has little to no staff in that area.  Regardless 
what they say, no one from Ten Tec actively monitors reflectors.  I hate to 
see another American company fail, but I can't see buying another Ten Tec 
product myself after the Orion II problems (and loss when I sold it).
