Hi Folks,
Having worked with Motorola for years, I find myself interested in the GE Orion series of radios. Where can I find out more information about Orions?
Any help would be appreciated!

Thinking of replacing my VHF Spectra with an Orion

The obvious question is why?
I went thru thinking about switching over. The Spectra is the best mobile transceiver, Rx & Tx wise, ever made. Yeah, it sucks having only 16 channels scannable at once, but do you really need more? The only + the Orion has over the Spectra is the display and hooking up two decks to a head is easier, as long as they are the same firnware revision. I stuck with the Spectras and have been glad when I talk to my Orion-using buddies.
