Jack,
Your losing out by not purchasing another Ten Tec product. I have had radios
of all brands and had problems with all of them with the fewest being with
Ten Tec. Ten Tec has the best service department in the world. ICOM and
KENWOOD make great stuff, too, but their service is nothing compared to TEN
TEC. The people at TEN TEC want to make sure people are happy.
73,
Nate/N4YDU
