[TenTec] Performance Measures in QST

[Rick Tyler]

I think this is what the problem it . . . the guys in the ARRL lab put the
radio through its paces . . . and I think they do it thoroughly and
honestly.  The numbers and graphs show that. Then the REVIEWER takes the
specs and the radio and writes the story.  There are probably some reviewers
who are more conservative than others about what they write.
