For my money, if there are problems with T-T products I'd like to see
them here. There is room for both sides of the argument. While no
manufacturer makes the perfect product, the T-T products that I own
(Argo 556, Pegasus, "6N2" and Omni Vi+) work for me and, despite the
recent comparison with the Icom 756 PRO, I've yet to see another
manufacturer's product compare with the Omni FOR CW OPERATION.
Bandwidth is abundant these days, BTW. :-)
