[TenTec] TT Mega Sale

[R. Eric Sluder via TenTec]

Yep, all bands 1 - 100 watts.  

Having 12 & 60 personally doesn't bother me either way.  However, from a market expectation for full featured rigs (K2 when equipped with options has all bands and is nearly the same size) Hams expect their radios to have all avail bands (optional seems to be okay).   

Anyway, the Argo VI seems to get top reviews (as expected).  

I suspect it's hard for TT and maybe Elecraft to cram a lot into a single box  that is comparatively small in relation to their competitors.  The JA designers have engineers dedicated to form factor because of their commercial radio lines as well.  When you can dedicate engineers to silo'd tasks, bring knowledge from one design into another; you usually get better results for the end product.
