[TenTec] RADIO COMPARISONS

[Louis Ciotti]

I agree.  My newest rig is a yeasu Ft-950.  The one thing in a knob the I wish was on a knob is the RF power...  Drives me crazy!

If only tentec had thus sale when I was looking for a new rig I would have a new TenTec rater the older one ;-).

My neighbor has one in his pickup. I tried using it and found that I had 
to go to menus to do simple things that were operational. I also had an 
FT100D. Same problem.

To me, menus are fine if you only use them for setups -- which filters 
are installed, is the mic plugged in the front or the back, does it need 
bias, stuff like that.  The FT1000MP was like that, and it was a good 
rig to operate. Ditto for the K3 and KX3. I had an IC746 that I used on 
6M and 2M when I lived in Chicago. Most of what you need to operate is 
on knobs and switches, but there's still a lot of stuff that requires 
menus, and those functions were a PITA. Likewise for a lot of VHF FM rigs.
