[TenTec] Ten-Tec Rig Comparisons

[Hulett, Russell]

Jerry,

Thanks for the summary, that is the sort have been looking for, and it prompts a few questions:

Which of the Ten-Tec rigs marked the change from "conventional" radios to "computer with knobs"? Having owned an Argonaut V and now an Omni VII, I know both of those use "bootloaders, firmware, and digital processing".  Somehow I thought the Paragon was the first where software and digitial processing played a major role, is that correct?

Besides the Omni VII, I own a 505, 509, 540, 544, and 546.  I enjoy all of them, though the 505 is in need of a PTO rebuild.  How do the features of the 560 and 561 compare with the 546?
