Couldn't agree more. At least it is possible to update this radio as
issues are uncovered, as opposed to waiting for the next new one
that must be purchased.
Misguided? I have spent many many hours working with Ten-Tec to
document and resolve items that I found to be issues and problems.
You won't find those things on the reflector. Public moaning and
grumbling doesn't benefit anyone. You'll find my issues and those
of others fixed in the software updates. I didn't have to wait for the
Pro IV (no specific brand implied).

I don't believe this is a "design decision". It will probably be fixed. It
doesn't "pin", but it is disconcerting. Most likely some DSP artifact.

I can guarantee that isn't the case. It's one opinion.

George, you really need to buy one ... you might find yourself
unexpectedly surprised. Dump that offshore junk :-)
