Whoever told you that Ten Tec's have a "soft" front end, could not have been
referring to the Orions! This chart has all you need to know about
comparative performance:

Subject: [TenTec] Radio Control/Contesting??
Which model is considered the best for computer control? I am considering
a Ten Tec for my next contest station set up.
Don't flame me I am simply relaying an experience:
I have heard on contest lists that Ten Tec has too soft a front end for
contesting, and that it should only be considered for casual
Dxing or for an "everyday" rig.
That for true Dxing and hard core contesting, the Yaesu FT-1000D is the
only way to go.
What are your thoughts and experiences on this? The reason I am asking is
that after having my "new to me" OMNI D series B, I am not
sure anymore that the above statement is true.
This is a pretty tight rig.
