- Has anyone else noticed the rather close resemblance between the TT R4020 CW QRP transceiver and the MFJ-92xx QRP CW transceiver ? Do ya suppose they share some genetic lineage? -- K8JHR -- - _______

- I thought TT had an exclusive on that. Apparently not. BTW, I'm still waiting for someone to bring out a QRP Antenna. You know what I mean, the kind that fits inside the living room and is just 6dB d

- That's the problem dealing with the Chinese. They take their contracts literally. So if you contract with a factory in China to make a particular radio, they see nothing wrong with contracting with s

- IIRC, the MFJ flavor has more bands on it than the two Ten-Tec ones. So technically, since they are different radios and slightly different designs... Hey, it works for the big box stores. Ever notic

- Oh... this intrigues me... it would be great fun to know the new Elecraft rig is based on what was originally a Chinese kit, and also can say TT and MFJ sell versions of it. I think that would hurt s

- Sorry to bust your bubble guys, but the new Elecraft is going to cost a lot more and be a lot more. The biggest similarity is the looks. Who knows, this may be the new look of all rigs to come! (hope
