[TenTec] Triton IV vers Corsair II

[Michael O. Hyder]

The Triton IV's were hand-made by people who loved their work.  If you are
lucky enough to own one, hang onto it!  From the Triton, the rest has been
the addition of bells and whistles which have done things like add bands,
etc.  But it seems like everything added detracts from the pure radio the
Triton is.

In my mind, the Triton IV is a Zen radio.  It just vanishes when it is in
use. . .
