Re: [TenTec] Don't forget guys the Atlas 210-X

[John Biccum <johnbiccum@comcast.net>]

 I had a couple of 210s and a 215.  All were /great /rigs.  The biggest 
problem with the rigs when used mobile was /mechanical /drift.   Hit a 
bump and the VFO knob would move.  Operated as a fixed station I saw no 
issues with drift, they were amazingly stable for their age.
