[TenTec] RE:Solid State Amps / Apologies...

[KD7EFQ at aol.com]

I do apologize for flying off the handle this morning, but I had recieved two 
off-reflector posts that were very insulting about my posts on here, 
regarding the legality of ordering overseas amps to use in the U.S.A.  I wouldn't have 
posted my anger on here except that the insulting parties responsible had 
their return e-mail blocked, and my direct replies to them were bounced. I posted 
here as apparently they read this reflector. I think not being allowed to 
respond to someone, especially if they are insulting you is an act of cowardice. 
Anyway, I will consider the source next time and refrain from wasting 
bandwidth on such futile endeavors.

 My last remarks on solid state amps is it seems to me that a no-load / tune, 
auto bandswitching, adequately protected amp would be an advantage in 
contests, especially for S&P operations. Not having to retune or worry about band 
changes would allow more concentration on contacts. The only reason I mentioned 
THP Co. is they seem to have a product that would fill a void in the market, 
since TT discontinued the Herc, and the others are extremely expensive. A 1KW 
high quality SS amp for under $3000 is a great Idea, And the THP Co. HL 2 KFX 
seems to fit the bill. Of course, I would buy Ten Tec first..IF they'd offer 
one. 73.
