[TenTec] ARRL Review of FT9000

[Toby Pennington]

Tommy makes a good point!   There is something to be said and appreciated
about a rig that is problem free and just operates each and every day
without a burp.  It may not have the best specs on receive,  but it seems to
never fail and every function operates just as it is supposed to. No
surprises from day to day just good solid performace.
