[TenTec] On being a contrarian

[William Addams]

I just wish the review had more technical detail and guts in it.
Too much "refer to the reflectors" mentioned.
Rather than doing a real detailed analysis.
It is funny though, through all of the not so positive stuff they mentioned through out most of the article, bottom line thoughts in the end of the article was that it is the best thing going today. Even though it isn't $10,000, still the best radio there is. And no, it isn't for an un-achieved ham or wanna-be, such as myself, yet in the hands of someone who really knows how to drive it, it picks out and copies signals others can't even begin to hear.
Again, it all comes down to the knowledge of the driver. Someone certified as a tricycle specialist shouldn't approach a Hummer. Yet they do, and complain.

gooey-gushy positive (and no one complained when they reviewed the Orion 1 
did they) but now that they have changed that (but apparently with the wrong 
rig) they are unfair.   I guess we need to start a "fair and balanced" ham 
magazine to review rigs that will bash all the JA rigs and gush over the Ten 
Tecs.

gooey-gushy positive you have to read between the lines to get a hint of the
truth.
This article was out of character in that it emphasized the  negative and
sniped about a lot of picky issues. You had to read between  the lines to 
get
to
the truth but the overall feeling was very negative.>>>
