[TenTec] Pegasus

[K1epj@aol.com]

I have had the Pegasus since the end of October. My Omni VI has seen little 
use since then but I guess that is to be expected when you get a new toy.

I have found the receiver to be more than adequate and feel that it is a 
notch above the 706, TS-50 radios. It is as good as the IC-756, better than 
the TS-570 but not in the same class as the Omni VI, FT-1000 or MP. These are 
the only other radios that I have had some experience with.

I have found that the ability to enter the frequency into the Pegasus from 
the keyboard is a feature that I would like to disable. Twice now I have 
tried to enter dx spotting information into the Pegasus display because I had 
the wrong window selected. There is no way that I have found to get back to 
the original frequency once you have hit a single key. 

I have managed to crash the windows application twice. The first time when I 
was configuring  my own filter selections. Another time when I was just 
playing with the passband control. However, I write software for a living and 
I understand that occasional crashes are unavoidable especially in a new 
product. I am very impressed with the robustness of the entire radio. 

Overall It is the most fun that I have had with any radio in quite a while.
