[OKDXA] TenTec Orion

[Kim Elmore]

Hi Bruce,

Thanks! At some point, I'd like to replace my venerable, but 
long-in-the-tooth TS-930S and, since I fancy myself a CW afficiando, 
I've considered the Orion.  What did (or do) you like about it and 
what don't you like about it?  How is it as a contest rig? DX 
rig?  How about 'phone and the digital modes? I've herad that the rx 
is bullet-proof; how bullet-proof is it? And, how about the roofing 
filters?  I read some place that the narrowest may not be the 
best.  Lastly, how about overall ergonomics.  I've had a TS-930S (the 
same one) for over 20 years and am more-or-less familiar with some 
other Japanese rigs, but I've heard thatthe TenTec is completely 
different. What did you find?

Enough questions? :)
