[TenTec] Comparison of TS-590S to Omni VII

[Frank Kirschner]

Would you please elaborate a bit on what was hard to do on the Kenwood? I imagine that more knobs puts more features at your fingertips, but what was it specifically that was difficult?

 I am considering the Kenwood as an additional rig, so I'm very interested to know.

 Thanks.

 Quite right. HOWEVER, I REALLY LIKED THE STORY ABOUT GETTING THEM TO PROOF READ AND CORRECT THE SPELLING AND GRAMMATICAL ERRORS ! That looks bad on anybody's ad copy. Sidebar.... This morning I got all cheesed off trying to chase 10 Meter EU DX from my Michigan QTH with my new TS-590s which is more complicated and not as intuitive to operate as my Omni VII ... so, I switched to my trusty old Omni VII and quickly made several contacts - slicing through pileups using my home brew aluminum 10 M rotatable dipole up at a mere 30 feet. Man... what an easy rig to run, and so nice to get a real 59 signal report from the UK and France. It is fun to say I have a TT rig when they ask me what rig I am using. Yeah....man... almost too easy... ;-) ------------------ Happy Trails. ======================= Richards / K8JHR =========================
