[TenTec] The Eagle and the legacy TTs

Re: General coverage vs. ham bands-only receivers.

I recently did some extensive A/B testing with a Ten Tec Omni V and a
Kenwood FT-480HX.  On every signal - strong, weak, or in between - the
Kenwood did a better job.  The S/N was better at the speaker on all ham
bands.  I admit that the Ten Tec is an older rig, but the technology hasn't
changed that much, except perhaps in terms of fabrication (e.g., more
surface mount components).  Where there was strong-signal interference, the
Kenwood did just as well as the Ten Tec.  The Kenwood has a general coverage
receiver - 30 KHz to 60 MHz.
