[TenTec] TT 6n2 Rig reviews?

[ac5e at comcast.net]

Well, I have both a '275H and an FT-736R that I could put on line. But since the 6n2 made its appearance it's been the primary 6 and 2m rig here. It seems to hear everything the other two do - a brick at the antenna takes care of boosting power if I ever need it, and it's generally a most pleasant little entry level all mode rig. 

Entry level - but the performance is there and the bells and whistles don't seem to matter much anymore. In other words, I prefer to hear the tropo station rather than the little Japanese girl announcing the frequency.
