[TowerTalk] Fw: KT34XA vs. ......

[Roger Borowski]

I'm not sure what your point is, but "common sense" tells me that you would
have to be a fool to buy something with such a great probability of failure
due to its complicated nature and number of parts when simpler designs with
less parts provide better performance and longevity. Been there, done
that! -=Roger-K9RB=-
