[ICOM] PRO/PRO2 vs. 775DSP

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

Earl,

I agree with your comments on that particular T-T engineering fix, I'd be 
disappointed also, but I've been buying radios from them since 1967 and been 
pleased - I know key engineering people have "moved on" but the fact that 
they returned your money says something decent about the company.

But the fact that they pulled the Orion - that says a lot too about the 
radio and the company.  The company knew it should no longer sell the Orion 
in the form it was in.

I don't think that T-T does the "beta testing" they should do on prototypes. 
There have been a bunch of bugs:  Triton 4 Digital (noise), First bunch of 
"Scout" (drifting), Orion (sk).  This shouldn't be.  The I, K and Y brands 
don't have as many of these problems - but they have some.

Unfortunately, some of the things T-T does well - but they once were a 
leader, but they're now trying to play "catch up" to the Oriental imports.

With ICOM, I rarely have to wait to see if it is a "good one", but if it is 
a bad one, I won't get my money back.

That's when I requested a refund, so they kept
the radio and sent me the money (which I used to buy a new Pro2).
