[TenTec] RADIO COMPARISONS

[Jim Lowman]

If the button count is correct, then that's certainly a TS-990.
I'm not knocking it - I like lots of buttons, switches, knobs and other 
controls.

However, as nice as it is that your friend with his new General-class 
license can afford such a radio right out of the starting gate, it seems 
to me a bit of overkill.
But, to each his own.  I'm sure that he'll grow into it and will enjoy it.
