[TenTec] ARRL Reviews

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Yes John, Joel's link certainly shed light on this confusing subject.
But I was not satisfied to let the subject die with that.
There was still the issue of Hans putting a lot of work into his list, yet
the list as it was, was misleading.

In the meantime I have corresponded with Hans several times, explained the
situation, shown him the ARRL response and he has made two changes to his
list.

 1.  It now has a statement at the bottom that transceivers tested before
February 2007 cannot be easily compared to those tested later.  (the Orion 2
was tested in 2006)

 2.  He has added the List Price to each radio (last column on the right)

As a result, I think the list is now a VERY useful tool.

Now a personal note:  I think this makes it very clear that good receiver
performance is not dependent on money alone.  Technology also plays a big
role.

Here again the link to Hans' list:
