[Icom] IC756PROll vs ORION

Sun, 10 Mar 2002 14:05:45 -0500

Well Andy, I am not a big Ten Tec fan either or at least yet, But the radio
I saw was not vaporware and it was very impressive. If it works as well as
it's features or specs proclaim and they get the QC issues settled, I would
buy one in a heartbeat. You might be total anti Ten Tec..I don't know and it
does not really matter. But there are other radio mfg.'s besides Icom,
Kenwood, and Yaesu....I like to keep and open mind and my open mind saw a
very exciting new rig...it was not a vapor of my imagination, hi hi...LOL,
73, Steve
