[TenTec] TEN-TEC announces new amplifier

[Cecil]

I can't imagine what's not to like....on a decent SSB QSO the NR and RF gain can be adjusted to make it sound like it were on the local FM repeater.  I've had several comments from visitors about the effect.  It adds very little of the digital artifact heard on the Icom and Yaesu rigs I have owned.  I'm not aware of another manufacturers implementation that works better.  I'd be interested in hearing about those that do.
