[TenTec] Omni 6+ Attributes / John Rippey

I know this is a little off topic, but reading this post, gave me a bit o=
f a
chuckle. =0D
The author mentioned someone was gathering information for a class action
suit =0D
against ICOM.  =0D
=0D
Usually class actions are taken on by attorneys that expect to gain a
substantial =0D
amount of money from the defendant.  There is just not enough money in th=
ese
=0D
types of threatened suits to interest any attorney.  So, anyone who wants=
 to
take =0D
on Icom, Kenwood, etc., will be paying for a lawsuit out of their own
pockets.  I've =0D
seen this situation over and over (the threats that is) and nothing ever
results.  It =0D
just gives people the illusion of progress when gathering the group and
information.=0D
=0D
I remember the threatened class actions against Yaesu over the FT100,
FeaturePrice =0D
over web hosting, etc.   They contact attorneys, no one wants the case on=
 a
contingency =0D
basis, so when it comes to putting up money, the class evaporates.=0D
=0D
Of course, to put a TenTec slant on this, makes you feel good you have a
TenTec(s) =0D
doesn't it?=0D

One caution about the 746 pro: I understand they have a rather frequently=
 =0D
occuring flaw in the P.A. section. I read somewhere that quite a few peop=
le
have =0D
experienced complete P.A. failures and the factory is aware of it but has
yet =0D
to implement design changes. One party was gathering info from 746pro own=
ers
=0D
to start a class action lawsuit against the factory. I think the TT Jupit=
er =0D
would be a much better rig if you can live without the 2M band. The FT-10=
00
is =0D
an interesting rig, but I have also heard that Yaesu of late has experien=
ced
=0D
Q.C. Problems. I'd say the 6+ is the way to go on the used market if not
priced =0D
over $1500 +/- various options. 73, T.=0D
