[TenTec] Orion II

[P A CUMMINS]

Do yourself a favor and look at a
Yaesu FT 1000MP MKV,  I have two people that I know that have bought the Big 
O II and been very diappointed! RF issuses out the nose and the audio just 
plain stinks. No more Ten Tec's for this guy!! Look Guys I did not sign up 
for this group, I would like to be removed. thanks .
