And "Bravo" to you, too, Dale. There is far too much sniping on the
Internet. The
anonymity of the 'Net makes it much easier to be rude and discourteous to
others, and to
treat strangers the way our mothers never intended for us to do.
Amateur Radio USED to be marked by the gentlemen you found among its ranks.
Too bad
that no longer seems to be the case. We're all the poorer for the loss.
I own a Ten-Tec and have owned several more in the past, along with Kenwood,
Icoms
and Yaesu. As you said, they ALL (INCLUDING the Ten-Tecs) have their pluses and
minuses.
73, Emory
