[TenTec] The Titan IIII ????

[d.e.warnick at comcast.net]

Don't assume that the next amp will use a tube at all. My Herc II may be old technology, but the solid-state world has advanced significantly. If I were allowed a wish here, it would be for a solid-state, full-legal-power, no-tune amp that follows the Omni VI+ & VII, Jupiter, Orion I & II with band changes just as the Herc II does.

Call it a Hercules III if you want, or any other name TenTec chooses. Just as long as it follows the TenTec traditions of quality, QSK and solid performance. It's a shame it'll match the new rigs instead of my Omni VI+
