I just finished looking at the Tentec Orion, and I thought it was
ugly. I did not care for the Icom computer screen radios, or the
Kenwood orange LCD screen radios either. I want real knobs to turn,
real buttons to push, and a real analog meter to look at.
I sit in front of a computer all day at work. I don't want to look
at another computer screen when I get home and turn on my ham radio.
Am I the only one that thinks a radio should look like a radio, and
not an over sized Palm Pilot with a mic jack and a coax connector?

If I'm going to run a piece of equipment from a computer I'd rather
do it from a real computer and not even see the other parts of the
system.

I worked on a $80,000 telemetry receiving system that ran under
Embedded Windows NT. A real pain in the ass to install the software and
set the radios up on the production floor.
