[TenTec]Rig tests

[Greg Fischer]

I have a better idea.  Bring all your rigs to my house!  I have power line noise, a loud dog, Navy jets that fly over the house (low I might add), tenitis in both ears and computer noise.  

I have the ultimate testing grounds..hihihihi.

Everyone have a nice day.

Referring to a previous post I made and to protect myself, let me clarify...this is a joke!!!!

Nuff said.

  I have seen so many "highly peculiar" test results over the half century plus 
  I have been involved with electronics I really don't trust "objective" tests. 
  By the time the test sees print at least some and often all objectivity has 
  gone by the wayside. 

         I much prefer to personally take the equipment in question and compare 
  it with some standard. You got a hot car? Lets take it to the strip and see 
  what it will do, side by side with mine. Your car has a superior ride? Lets run 
  down the River Road and see how it handles over the potholes and washboards. 

  Your latest boob toob will record DVD's and play them back in VHS - and it's 
  got triple wishbone filters to boot!  Let's compare the picture on it to my 20 
  year old Zenith.  

  You got a super tranciever? Bring it over and put it in place of my second 
  rig so it's a switch flip away from the antenna and we will compare it to the 
  best rig I have been able to find up to now and we will see how it does. Can we 
  copy a weak station during the inevitable afternoon thunderstorm? Can pull out 
  a weak one from under or between strong stations?  How are the filters? Are 
  the skirts sharp and clean?  How is the audio, clean and clear or muddy and 
  distorted?  

  While the results are somewhat skewed by local conditions,  those conditions 
  are the ones that any rig in this neighborhood is going to have to perform 
  under.  Weak signals, less than optimum antennas, noisy neighborhood, crowded 
  bands, and added interference from the neighbors sewing machine and mixer and 
  all. 

  The comparison continues until all parties are satisfied and agree on 
  results. And you know, it usually doesn't take long to decide which rig performs the 
  best. That's why I have an open shack policy. If you have the latest 
  "SuperBlaster 9900" and you want to compare it bring it on!
