[TenTec] September QST Ad

[Bill Rowlett]

This is rather silly when the reason for the mic being shown is that it comes with the radio. They are just showing you what comes with it and the display just shows you what that looks like.
 
Can we all grow-up a little bit here and geat back the the bands and off the computors.

The complainer on qrz.com didn't seem to mind that. (I sent Ten Tec an email and said that, in view of how elegant their products are, they should at least hire a proof reader for their ad copy. Errors like that don't inspire confidence. Since then, their ads have been perfect.)

But it seems that one of the forum moderators took note of the September QST ad for the Eagle, and has started having a little bit of fun with it. What's the problem? The radio as pictured is tuned to 14.060... and there's a hand mike shown, but no key. Obviously a BIG mistake... right. But see for yourselves, if you're interested... http://forums.qrz.com/showthread.php?310389-Ten-Tec-Ad-in-September-QST 73, ron w3wn
