[TenTec] Disparaging Corsairs, Pro II, etc hi hi

[tlogan7 at cox.net]

Hi folks -
  Yesterday, after posting a note about buying a Corsair II and my potential
on the-air comparison with my Icom 756 Pro II, I was surprized to get a
number of unsolicited direct emails which explained to me, in short, that
neither the Pro II nor the Corsair II were really worth beans for the cw
enthusiast. I was a little taken aback that people feel the need to do this
hi hi, but in the emails there was more than once a reference to Kenwood
having at one time made the best cw rigs ever made. I cannot remember which
models were referred to - the 830 or 850 maybe? Anyway, I would enjoy
hearing from anyone about the Kenwoods and what you think....and how they
may have compared to Ten Tecs of the same vintage. I've never been around
the older Kenwoods and it would be interesting to know more. Thanks folks!
