[TenTec] DSP Engine in New Rig?

[James Parsons]

Am I wasting bandwidth here? I have a few TenTec items here including my
Centaur. I am planning on buying another old Corsair II just to play with (I
really liked that rig). But no new TenTecs at this time. It sound to me like
you only want to hear good things about TenTec. If that is the case you
should just shut down your computer. All manufacturers have good points and
bad point and we need to point them out. I do that on the other reflectors
as I also own Yaesu, Kenwood and Icom. Get real!
