Since we are now encouraged to discuss other products, does anyone have
an update on the status of Computeradio and the Dream Radio 1? Their
website's most recent update was in 2004.
If memory serves, this was THE product that was going to herald a new
era of amateur radio equipment design, leaving all others in its wake.
Ten Tec and Elecraft and ALL other amateur radio manufacturers were
destined for the scrap heap of history........
Just wondering.................

NO, it has become the TenTec Cheerleaders reflector -- better defined
as a bunch of old farts, SOME of whom seem to be interested only in
justifying their purchase of a particular radio, and not caring to
learn anything about anything else going on in the world. Thankfully,
some other members are here to learn more about their radios, fix them
when they break, and share what we have learned with others. I am one
of the latter group.
TenTec and Elecraft are both very good companies, and make very good
products. They are both American companies, both started by individual
HAMS dedicated to doing it better. Al Kahn, K4FW, the co-
founder of Ten Tec (and also Electro-Voice), was a MAJOR behind the
scenes booster of Heathkit, and long time supporter of ARRL. He would
have been very pleased with what Elecraft has done. It is quite sad
that some folks are only able think in terms of "us against them."
That's a big reason the world is in such a terrible fix.
