[TenTec] ARRL

[Rick, NJ0IP / DJ0IP]

Yes John, and that little work of art caused the industry to move their
first IF from 45 MHz, which was already bad enough, up to 70 MHz, which is
even worse.  As a result, it's even more difficult to build a decent roofing
filter for these rigs!

I would gladly sacrifice 6m and general coverage to have a low first IF at
HF frequencies.  You get a better box that way (as long as we consider that
price plays at least a remote role).

They did figure out before others to add 6m to most HF
rigs.
