I too tried (owned and used) almost everything else around, though hardly
the 45 years you waited. And I never found a transceiver that would come
close to equalling the CW performance of my Viking II + Drake 2b until I
got my first T-T, a Triton. Next came Omni D. Same ultra-quiet and
sensitive receiver, but much more versatility. And now a Six - more gadgets
than I know what to do with, mainly the full crop of filters, really a plus,
and still the QSK to rival the unbeatable 2b. Troubles with any of them
over the years have been far rarer than with any of the big J-three, and
service, both telephone advice and back-to-home, is everything they claim.
Quite refreshing after some experiences with (I won't name names.). Plenty
of good Omni D's abound - try one and find out for yourself. Dave, K3TX

I have held a ham ticket from 1961 but never owned a piece of Ten Tec
equipment. So now I'm
looking at some of the Omni D or Corsair models to purchase and play
with. I buy transceivers
for the receiver performance and like anything else opinion varies from
Ham to Ham. I need input
about any of those Ten Tec transceiver of that late 70's early 80's era
and what to look for or
avoid.
I have a Cubic Astro 103 for sale or trade if someone is interested.
