No, more like a Dodge Viper, a GE refrigerator or a Rolling Rock beer.


If you'd drink Rolling Rock beer, then you'd probably drive an AMC
Gremlin, wear a badge laden jumpsuit to a hamfest, and date Moms Mabley.

C'mon, Hans. They don't make Gremlins any longer, I've never parachuted
into the Dayton fleamarket and Moms Mabley has been dead for years.

In honesty, I did buy a Chevy Vega back in '73 (much to my regret), have
worn a navy blue, velvet cap with scrambled eggs on the bill and my call
embroidered on the front (a gift from old salt K3FK) and I once went out
with a female jailer from Savannah who kept talking about cuffs,
shackles and body slams.

Those things aside, the Orion is built in the U.S. and is one fine
transceiver.
