[TenTec] New $10K Yaesu HF

[Bill Tippett]

	Here is a brochure that has a bit more info, although
somewhat difficult to read.  Looks like this brochure may
have been published for distribution at Dayton:

http://www.edcjp.jp/Dayton/2004/FT-DX9000.html

A few quick highlights:

* selectable 15/6/3 kHz roofing filters (IC-7800 has 15/6 only).
* typical IP3 of >40 dBm and "best close-in dynamic range on the market"
* 400W and 200W versions (target price of $13k and 10k per W0YG)
* 100W Class A operation (400W version only)

Appears to be directly targeting the IC-7800, but it will be interesting
to see if it is anything more than a paper tiger at the moment.
