[TenTec] $$ kickbacks

[Steve Weber]

Fellow Ten-Tec-ies,

That would explain why I practically had to BEG AES to show me the 
TenTec 2591 HT alongside the oriental HTs.  The sales guy was unable 
to program an Icom 02-AT even after going through the manual and then 
spending a good 10 minutes of fiddling.  They "couldn't find" the 
manual for the TenTec, but it was so intuitive that I had it up and 
running in about the time it took them to tell me it was a piece of 
... junk.

I bought the TenTec, but not from AES!
