Well, Paul.....
I always thought the SX-88 was about as pretty a rig as you could have but,
after hearing that one sold for $1800 on E-Bay recently, I have decided to
dream about more practical objects.
I've only owned Tentec equipment for a bit over a year, but I can remember
being smitten by ads for the Corsair (both I & II models) in QST. Somehow,
their appearance captured the classic representation of "radio", at least
for me.
I enjoy the appearance and function of my 6+, but am just now getting used
to non-hams visiting the shack, looking at the rig, and asking "Is that a
radio"?
Guess I got started in the hobby in the latter years of "hollow state" and
my vision of beauty is shaped by coming of age in that period. There's a
SX-42 on the bench here and its coming around, but it will never hear as
good as the Omni, hi!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I question anyone who does not
appreciate the elegance of a Triton IV digital. I believe that rig was
the "prettiest" ham tranceiver ever produced.
Any others want to toss in a vote? Ten Tec or otherwise?
