[TenTec] K3 information

[Ron Zond]

Awright folks

Solution to the "bickering". 
TenTec offers the Orion and Jupiter in kit form.
at $1500 and $600 respectively. Then we see
some real bickering. Heck. it might even be 
instructive.

NO, it has become the TenTec Cheerleaders reflector -- better 
defined as a bunch of old farts, SOME of whom seem to be interested 
only in justifying their purchase of a particular radio, and not 
caring to learn anything about anything else going on in the world. 
Thankfully, some other members are here to learn more about their 
radios, fix them when they break, and share what we have learned 
with others. I am one of the latter group. 

TenTec and Elecraft are both very good companies, and make very good 
products. They are both American companies, both started by 
individual HAMS dedicated to doing it better. Al Kahn, K4FW, the co-
founder of Ten Tec (and also Electro-Voice), was a MAJOR behind the 
scenes booster of Heathkit, and long time supporter of ARRL. He 
would have been very pleased with what Elecraft has done. It is 
quite sad that some folks are only able think in terms of "us 
against them." That's a big reason the world is in such a terrible 
fix.
