[TenTec] Top receivers

[Richards]

Am I the only one to think the audio output kinda sucks ?    I am NOT 
one of those Hi Fi audio guys, but I mean, really... these radios are 
often rated at 10% Total Harmonic Distortion  (THD.) .   Sheesh... that 
is a really lousy  specification.

Is it possible the radios are actually better than that, but 
manufacturers report the rigs are "better than 10% THD"  because it is 
easier to do that than actually stop,  measure, and report the real 
specification? ... OR...  is it really that bad?   1% THD would never 
pass in the Hi Fi world...   Geeze...I don't think my guitar amp suffers 
10% THD !

Fixing or improving this spec would not expand audio bandwidth, but it 
might improve overall audio output quality and make it just a little 
easier to listen for extended periods.  Listening to even 1% THD can 
cause listener fatigue in a fairly short period of time.

Just MY take.
