[TenTec] New $10K Yaesu HF

[Bernard(wtrone)]

    Bill:

        There was a comment, from Scott I believe, that TenTec would be
announcing some new gear at the hamfest.  Anyone, go by the TenTec booth and
find out what it was?

        The Icom and Yaesu rigs might provide the opportunity/ motivation
for TenTec to offer a color display for the Orion.  I don't "need" one, but
I sure would "like" one on my Orion.  Other than that, I haven't found
anything else to suggest, but, I am still a "novice" with my new Orion.

                73,


                Bernard, WA4OEJ
