[TenTec] Reflector Op-eds

[rick@dj0ip.de]

Chris, if I may offer you some advice...

Instead of replying to a thread about complaints and such, if you want help
with your Omni, then do as we moderators of all forums ask all participants
to do:

  "START A NEW THREAD WITH A PROPER SUBJECT LINE:"

i.e. "OMNI-D VFO drift problems"

Just an idea.
A lot of people are simply deleting the emails with these old subject lines
in them so they don't even know you are seeking advice.

I'm sure you will get a response with something like that.

Gud luck.

A- Oh, I have no doubt that the people are on here.

B - I don't think Joe's comments unfair.
It's recently been overwhelmingly about the corporate stuff and not much
tech.  And that's fine.  You all
are excited to see TenTec survive.   That's just
not why I'm here.

C - My old Omni-D is having frequency stability problems on 80 meters.  I
asked about it a couple of years ago and got some good pointers which I've
recently come to the end of.  So I need to get back into it.
Probably there is someone on this list who has had it happen and can point
me to the place.  But I can find it myself, just lazy and want a short cut
if I can get one.

D - Sounds like new TenTec needs to put in place an automated 'we received
your email' reply system. Many kinds of email software can do that through
their "I'm on vacation" feature.  And if he's got people lined up to pay
fair-but-hefty repair fees, I'd think that would be a better use of time
than building a web store for misc. parts, just IMHO.

p.s.  guess which parts of this message will generate interest.
