[TenTec] greetings!

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

I liked Bwana Bob's comments, specially the brief response.  My comment to 
the question "do these rigs compare favorably with the (big 3) on voice?" 
Actually, they don't!.............they are better!

Of course there's different operators, different mikes, different mike 
techniques and radio adjustments that will impact the sound of any radio on 
SSB.  Actually, none of them sound bad.  Some just sound better than others. 
The biggest fault largely lies in the mike and with the way the operator 
uses same and sets up the radio.  Any radio can be made to sound bad, most 
sound good and a very few sound GREAT!

If you want a radio that has the CW QSK performance that the others try to 
achieve, then you want a Tentec.  If you want a radio that has direct 
internet connection without a local computer, you want a Tentec.  If you 
want a radio that has one of the best receivers on the market, then you want 
a Tentec.

If you want a radio that has all the whistles and bells known to man, and a 
few yet to be imagined,  then you likely don't want a Tentec.

I view it as "performance is what counts" and that comes from a Tentec 
radio. I encourage you to review Bob Sherwood Engineering performance 
measurements on current production radios.    Here's the link:

Welcome, John, and, yes, they are excellent SSB radios, too.
