What a hoot. I'm loving this. You guys sound like a bunch of Republicans who have just finished reading the New York Times. Let's see, QST was gooey-gushy positive (and no one complained when they re

Hey gang? About the QST Review? Forget about it. Yeah, it stings. But let's face it, we all have our 'druthers, our own biases. No one -- no one -- can truly write a 100% fair and complete review, th

I just wish the review had more technical detail and guts in it. Too much "refer to the reflectors" mentioned. Rather than doing a real detailed analysis. It is funny though, through all of the not s

Well said. I just thought the review was out of character with the normal positive slant you see in QST reviews. If QST is initiating a new policy of critical reviews, I am all for it. But if the rev

Seems like he might have read the news group as he suggested potential owners do. I thought it was spot on the money. I do agree though that this same review technique should be applied against other

No it won't, but I have read here many times about one TT radio that was panned by QST. Very few were sold and it is now a rare item. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S. Mendelson, Jerusalem, Israel gsm@mendelson.

I read the New York Times once. Found it to be opinionated and not particularly news worthy. I'm not a republican. First time I've read the reflector in a while and am still grinning at the number of

Ron, do you use the SP, NR, AN, etc? That's where most (not all) of the complaints are. When I don't use those things I am happy too. But it would be nice to use them, since they are there and I paid

Geoff - What T-T radio was this? The Paragon? I have a Paragon II but never saw a QST review for it, only the original Paragon review. 73/shalom Don, VE1BN dwatters@ns.sympatico.ca -- Original Messag

Geoff, I think it was the Delta II. They didn't know how to use the Jones filter properly (i.e. adjust the bandpass slightly to center the signal in the filter bandpass on USB,LSB and CW. And also ac

Hello Lee, I do use the SP and AN functions for SSB (the AN function when heterodynes are present in the pass band). Do not use the NR function much but have experimented with it. Generally I find AT

Yes, I looked it up and that was it. They felt that the radio was too expensive, but did not say it that way. What they said was (and I'm paraphrasing) was that for $1700 (in 1991 when they did the r

Geoff - Thanks for the reply and info. I neither had nor saw a Delta II. I am very happy with my OMNI 6+, a late model with suface mounted components and the VCXO. Sold my early one which nearly drov

That was the Delta II and its QRP counterpart, the Argonaut II. QST did not like them. Also, they were higher priced than competitive Japanese radios of the time. Many Ten Tec fans feel that QST is b
