[TenTec] We need a ten-tec to compete with Icom 706 MKIIG

[jerome schatten]

Well, I've driven over 100,000 miles with my 706MkII in the truck (no G) and 
it's a good little CW rig. Sure, they could have done better than 2A on rx 
and made it so the note didn't go to rat excrement at 12.4 volts, but so 
what?  Leo's battery booster takes care of the note. and my solar panel 
takes care of the draw.. What could have TT added but their legendary full 
QSK which, in my view, would drive you nuts operating mobile?  No sense 
going where there's no need.

I agree with Don, TT should shoot at elephants not ants.

Best,
jerome - va7vv
