[TenTec] Are Entry Lewvel Rigs Blowing Smoke?

[Larry Greenberg N5BEA]

       I think that what the world really needs is a good five cent cigar!   I have owned  6 or 8  TecTecs over the years plus a much larger and more varied assortment of other brands.   I think for simplicity and ease of operation nothing has ever surpassed  my Argosy.  I hooked it to a vertical and ran DX.   I bought the little relay box was  respectable with a small Amp on 75 meters.  It is a good basic mobile unit too....................  The thing is "The Brand Xers" have developed  what they choose to call "entry level" rigs . That is their terminology.  I, would prefer to see something akin to an updated Argosy.  A basic rig or as some of us see it, a decent little mobile  rig.  I think that an Argosy 2000 could be sold a similar price point as the Brand X.   I  also believe that it's market share at that price point would be higher than must people might estimate.   Just how important is cramming a lot of goodies in something very cheap & small?  I think the ham 
world's answer to this question might be surprising.. Larry GreenbergN5BEA
