Mike mac here... hint:  im sending back a new Orion, I bought it 2 weeks ago 
for the BUDster  but it turns out it's to intuitive for him to operate, bud 
has rejected the computer era.. the thinking was I knew he wanted one [ 
Orion ]  and at 85 and knowing what I know about him, I thought he deserved 
some fun, and then I would own it again,   but as I said it just wont work 
for him, everything that could , did go wrong , hospital visits for his wife 
blah blah..  anyhow my point is , I KNOW that set will sell for 5% less than 
a brand brand new one and will be in stock..
As well ?Scott has been very helpful..  he's the sales manager , I have also 
ordered and should be getting the new receiver in about a week or so the 
RX-340.. and all along that has been for me.. so I am real sure it will stay 
here..  but back to the Orion, when Bud sort of gave up on it, I set it up 
here and also downloaded Ham Radio Deluxe, WOW  that really opens up the 
Orion and all it's features. and it's free so I never got to n4py's at 
$80.00 program..

so I enjoyed the Orion, but if it was not working for bud, I just thought 
I'd wait till later , and keep jacking along with the Harris and Collins as 
well my trusty old 781/Signal One   combo.. but I do have the Orion packed 
and in the truck to ship Monday.. and it will be available with the 5% 
discount, so you can at least ask about it..  just my 2 cents worth..
