CQ Reviews: Ten-Tec Orion II HF Transceiver

摘要

A string of "little things" was giving K1GQ some doubts about Ten-Tec's new Orion II transceiver ... that is, until he put it on the air in a couple of contests. I own two original Ten-Tec Orions, so when I got the Orion II to review, I was comparing it to its predecessor as well as evaluating its general performance. The Orion II (photo A) is a better radio. "Better" means different things to different people, of course. To me, the most important feature in an HF transceiver is receiver performance, and here the Orion family is unmatched at any price point.
