maybe not.      worth every penny ???  .. i can afford it and am still 
debating...
when my k2 hears the vu4 better than my 756PII,,, it frightens me a little 
to make the big move...is it just the noise blanker that is superior or is 
there something else.....

** The Ten-Tec Orion according to the tests and reviews I have read out 
performs
** easily the 7800 under difficult conditions, for a fraction of the price of
** the Icom...

out performs,???   yes ...
1. when it is working ,  and there are many that consider "working" as part of
     any performance criteria....  by working I mean that it does what it 
is             supposed to do. ie:  not needing to be reset, uploaded, 
downloaded,     grounded, rfi'd etc etc ....ad nauseam
2  when you accept that the scope is " not needed anyway"  since it is 
deemed rather worthless even by the cultists, thus the " not needed 
anyway"  comment (justification.)

i love myTTs... and my K2s.....

Please do not copy to the TT list, this is directed to the Icom list, in 
response to the comment about performance.

merry Christmas..
