[TenTec] New TT rigs...thoughts

[Bwana Bob]

Yes, I don't see the value in 160 meters for a low-power or portable rig 
,  but maybe there are QRP possibilities on the band.  I'd like to see 
60 meters.  I never hear any activity on 12 meters.  Oh, and must look 
mil-spec (even if it isn't)  like the now-discontinued ICOM 7200,  with 
side handles front speaker and keyboard frequency entry....



73,
