[TenTec] QUESTION "OMNI"

[Bob & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

My experience with the built-in tuner in a couple of different radios
concluded that the range the tuner will handle is very limited.  I've
found that an external tuner works better.  I run high power so an
internal tuner wouldn't be of any value.

Just one old ....... opinion.
