[TenTec] Help me Decide ??

[Jim WA9YSD]

 Sell the rice box.  Buy American.  Sounds like your not happy with the Yaesu for some reason.  Why?

I have been on the air for 40 years.  Seen radios come and go.  RF
getting into equipment running 500 to 1.5KW is a problem with any
radio.  Computer programming of a radio as far as I am concerned still
needs to be proven when running in the Ham shack.  Any one who says
they don't have problems when running high power are eather lieing, lucky or extreamly smart.  Its all
about how you feel about the radio, front pannel lay out ease of use,
how intuitive it is to operate, good filters and ability to receive
those very week signals.  On the other hand the radio is only as good
as the antenna your using.

With the band conditions the way they are 120 foot tower and a SteppIR
on top will hear things that I cannot with my wire antennas.  Another
story.

 Keep The Faith, Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
