[TenTec] New Receiver

[Sherrill WATKINS]

Ten Tec would probably sell more receivers if they included the synchrous AM detector.  (They would probably sell more transceivers
if they did the same.)  At least I would probably buy one to replace my 30 year old Drake SPR-4.  In this day and age, a short wave
receiver without a synchrous a.m. detector is like a car without airconditiong  or an am-fm radio; who really wants it?   Also, a few
years ago the ARRL did an evaluation of the Watkins-Johnson professional reciever and rated it a real dog. The results of their
evaluation were  published in QST. -Sherrill W.  k4own

That depends what you mean by reasonable - it's $3950.00 at Universal Radio
( http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/commrxvr/0340.html ) .  It's got
the synchronous AM that hasn't made it into the RX-320 yet...
