[TenTec] repairs

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Earlier someone mentioned something like $1800.
Let's hope that was very wrong.
It will be a total flop at that price.

I don't agree that it has to be cheaper than the other intro-radios.
It needs to come in quite a bit under $1K. 
I don't think they will shy away from $700 or $800.

It certainly is different and will appeal to older hams, but I fear the
ceramic filters will spell disaster as far as performance goes.

I kind of like what I see in that Palstar.
It now all depends on the price. It simply has to come in significantly less
then other beginner rigs.
