[Icom] What is an Orion?

Absolutely Dave.

It is easy to forget the problems which other manufacturers have had over
the years, and let's face it those other companies are much bigger than Ten
Tec. I believe that you should not knock your own countries producs in
public anyhow, and I'm not an American.

Give them the chance they deserve, they have a history of excellence. Not
bad at all considering they brought themselves to this point by their boot
straps so to say.

Long may Ten Tec give excellent service to Amateur Radio. For the margins of
profit involved they deserve a medal.

Regards,
