Not you Terry, you're a good guy!
But I would be proud to have you join our team of people rocking the boat for a
better ham radio world!
I am certain that we will win over time.
The sooner people jump on board, the sooner we win.

Subject: [TenTec] Transmitter Noise and Radio User Interface
Yes, I am one of those described in Rick's post and guilty of holding the hobby
back. Stated by someone that owns an ICOM 7800, TT Orion1, and others. There
is a market for cheap radios and that's why the big companies continue to make
and sell them. Most of the Hams using them wouldn't know transmitter noise or
distortion from a hammer nor do they care. There are too many variables in the
causes for band noise, a great deal of the noise on SSB today is caused by the
person within the headset. I also read here this week about how awful the User
Interface is on some of the Flex Radios, ( I am former owner of 6300, 5000 and
3000) well that issue was largely solved on the earlier rigs with use of the DJ
Panels which provided 2 large VFO knobs and more knobs than you could shake a
stick at. One of the absolute worst user interface radios is the Elecraft
brand.
