I personally would like to know what issues were encounterd. I'm not
speaking of personalities. I can't adjust or repair those. Just the
technical or operational items.
I'd be most glad to assist. Just ask.

If you really feel that way about TT, then please: don't let the door hit
you in the backside on your way out.

BRAVO!!!! JOHN, I have deleted more emails on this reflector than all the
ten other ham radio lists together that I belong to during the last few
weeks. I own four complete Ten Tec stations without Ten Tec Amps and have
been a dedicated Ten Tec friend and user since 1977.
It becomes more evident DAILY that Al Kahn is dead, that Jack Burchfield
is no longer hands on, that Garland Jenkins, Larry Worth and many more
guys dedicated to Ten Tec and its' loyal Ham supporters are not on the
staff. Under the present circumstances, if Ten Tec was selling stock for
2 cents a share I wouldn't buy a dimes worth because I wouldn't want to
lose my dime. My brother recently bought an Eagle on my recommendation
and I feel that I will live to regret it. He bought it fully loaded, all
filters, automatic antenna tuner etc. and then Ten Tec, under the
guidance of their "newbies" broke it off in him several weeks
thereafter. I don't think there will be any additional new Ten Tecs in
this family.
Ten Tec's machine shop, cabinet products and other sidelines have kept
Ten Tec afloat for more than 40 years and now in their infinite wisdom
they are going to do away with their safety net and it will not be
there to keep them going. Al Kahn and Jack Burchfield knew they were
competing against Kenwood, Icom and Yaseu who had world wide markets with
distributors and dealers all over the world. Ten Tec couldn't even keep
dealers in the USA. WE dedicated USA hams were loyal repeat buyers and
kept the company going. Now the old building is insufficient and Ten Tec
is cutting its' life support system.
If I have said anything that is untrue, I need to know because Ten Tec
has always been my favorite equipment. 73, John, K5PGW

OK kids - (I used to be a school
principal) Let's quit the arguing about how many
angels will fit on a pin, and make this the civil discourse
it should be, especially with all the good tech's
here. John Henry has taken on the SW project, and I
dont care too much about lab comparisons, which, in my view,
have Gone to an absurb level that will not probably be
noiced on the air.
My problem is that I will ACTUALLY BE OPERATING during the
KY WEEK COMING UP TUE AS A W1AW/4 CENTENNIAL
STATION. I have my regular station and SW
setup (Omn 6+ and Hercules II.) I took the TT deal and
got an Eagle, which just came in and I haven't had a
chance to even hook it up. If I learn enough, I'd like
to get it on the air some.
I know it will switch SOME linears through the accessory
jack, but would like more isolation and more current head
room on the switching lead, without losing the necessary
delay. I'm thinking the circuit might not be very
complicated. Question is: Has anyone made such a
gadget, or should I just get the TT Accessory?
Thanks,
73,
John, K4AVX
