[TenTec] Update

[Paul Gates]

YOu are so right as I think about it. The TenTec Triton IV 540 and then the 544 were my first TT rigs. And the thing that sold me on these rigs was the receiver audio. My rig now is the Delta 580. Had it to TT in June 2009 and afterwards I think or it was my imagination that the Audio was much better after the rig was lined up. In addition to the Triton IV I have had the 509, Argosy, and a few others. I never could afford any of the Omni's but would love to have one. Doggone it, I am retired now and really cannot afford much of anything. I would love to have an Omni VII.KD3JF
