Actually, I quit reading Consumer's Report many years ago.  It seems that
every product I bought that they had "rated high" turned out to be really
crappy from a quality and performance standpoint.

I don't recommend Consumers Report to anyone.  If you want good,
intelligently done, unbiased, and in-depth analysis of products, go
elsewhere.

Would you go to them for reviews on Ham Radio equipment!  HELL NO!  I can
just imagine what those "chimps" would do to Ten Tec equipment - and we all
know better.

Reid, K7YX

Well, if that is so, why did Consumer Reports magazine say that the
reliability of the new S-type is "much worse than average"? And please
don't shoot the messenger (Consumers)-they just report the response from
thousands of readers.
