[TenTec] Yep -- Omni VII SORRY I JUST CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE!!

Sat Aug 5 13:55:28 EDT 2006

SUGGESTION - THE MODERATORS NEEDS TO SHUT THE TEN TEC REFLECTOR DOWN UNTIL 
THE NEGATIVE FOLKS CAN MIGRATE TO THE FLEX RADIO SDR 1000 OR THE I HAVE MORE 
MONEY THAN BRAINS, PERFECT ICOM 7800 REFLECTORS.  THESE TWO RADIOS ARE 
"PERFECT" AND HAVE NO ISSUES, NO PROBLEMS, AND IF SO THEY ARE IMMEDIATELY 
FIXED!!

THE OMNI VII HAS JUST BEEN INTRODUCED AND ALREADY IT'S THE WRONG COLOR, DOES 
NOT COVER THE 48, 49, AND 55Mhz BANDS, DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH KNOBS AND 
SWITCHES, IT DOES NOT HAVE AN OPTION TO SPEAK JAPANESE!!  ENOUGH, IS 
ENOUGH!!  I HAVE AN IDEA!!!

TEN TEC, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, GET OUT OF THE AMATEUR RADIO BUSINESS!!  GO 
STRICTLY COMMERCIAL AND GOVERNMENTAL, BUT NO!!  THEN IT WILL BE THE SAME OLE 
GUYS WITH THE SAME OLE COMPLAINTS!!  THEN THEIR COMPLAINTS WILL BE, " I 
WISHED TEN TEC, THE LAST AMERICAN COMPANY STANDING, HAD NOT GOTTEN OUT OF 
THE AMATEUR RADIO BUSINESS"!!  MAN THOSE TEN TEC's RADIOS WERE LEADERS IN 
TECHNOLOGY, CHEAP, BEST OF THE BREED, 30 DAYS FREE TRIAL, COULD CALL THE 
COMPANY (AND THEY SPOKE ENGLISH), COULD DROP BY THE PLANT, ATTEND THE ANNUAL 
HAM FEST, COULD MODIFY MY RIG VIA THE INTERNET OR MANUALLY, AND IF I GOT IN 
TROUBLE OR HAD A QUESTION THEY WERE THERE FOR ME. IF I NEEDED A PART IT WAS 
AVAILABLE, CHEAP AND SHIPPED QUICKLY, THEY WERE AT THE MAJOR HAM FEST, AND I 
MISSED THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE TEN TEC CREW - LEE, GARY, JEFF, BOYD, 
ERIC, BILL, SCOTT, PAUL, GEORGE, MARY, SUE, FRANK, AND KEVIN.  WOW REMEMBER 
THE TITAN SERIES, CENTURION, THE JUPITER, AND OH MAN THOSE ORIONS, AND THE 
OMNIs, AND IT WAS A SHAME THAT THEY GOT OUT OF THE AMATEUR BUSINESS BEFORE 
THE OMNI VII WAS SOLD!!

BUT I'M HAPPY, I HAVE MY "PERFECT -NO PROBLEM/NO ISSUES" $10,000.00 IC-7800 
AND MY "PERFECT - NO PROBLEM/NO ISSUES" $5000.00 SDR-1000 (I GOT ALL THE 
UPGRADES WITH THE ENHANCED SOUND CARD AND SHIELDED CABLES)!!  YES, I HAVE 
MORE MONEY THAN BRAINS, BUT I'M HAPPY AND FINALLY I HAVE SPENT ENOUGH THAT I 
HAVE THE " P E R F E C T" RADIO!

I'M LEAVING THIS REFLECTOR!!  SORRY I JUST CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE, THE CRY 
BABIES HAVE ALREADY STARTED CRYING ABOUT THE OMNI VII.  I WANT TO BE ON A 
REFLECTOR WERE "REAL MEN" CAN DEAL WITH "REAL ISSUES" AND DON'T EAT BABY 
FOOD, SUCK THEIR BEER OUT OF A BABY BOTTLE, AND WHIMP, WHINE, AND CRY ABOUT 
NOTHING ALL DAY!  DAM, I CAN'T GO TO THE SDR 1000 OR ICOM 7800 REFLECTOR, 
CAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES OR PROBLEMS.  BATMAN WHAT ARE WE TO DO???

BYE!!!!!
