[TenTec] Orion II

[Steve Van Houweling]

I have both Orion's 1 and 2 along with the MK5 200 watt with INRAD roofing
and all other filters.  I have NO RF in the shack. Run a 3/4 inch pipe
behind the rigs hooked to one good ground. The MK5 with the roofing and
narrow SSB filters is about 75-80% an Orion.   73's Steve

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 .
