[TenTec] Dayton and the 516

[J. Duffy Beischel]

Well I was disappointed when the higher price was announced for the 516.  Now that I have seen the rig up close at 
Dayton today, in my opinion, it is very overpriced.  They had the rig opened up for all to see plus another rig that you 
could play with.  The meter was crooked, and the rig just did not have that quality look to it.  $595 would have been a 
fair price, $695 pushing it a bit, $795 - they're kidding.  The only thing going for it is that you can update the firmware.

I'm not bashing TT, as I have been happy with my Paragon II, Omni VI+ and my Jupiter and have been a big supporter.  
Just my opinion of the radio.

FWIW,

Duffy
