All -

I recently purchased an FT-100 to replace the Ten Tec Delta II
I use on island expeditions to NA-083.  While it's "not a Ten Tec" with
regard to its QSK, the RX is very nice for CW, especially with
the 500/300 Hz filters and the awesome DSP BPF for CW.

Reliability?  Don't know -- I've only used it for 20 hours so
far.  I'll find out tomorrow during the annual IOTA contest.

After reading some of the negative comments on this reflector
I ask myself how many of the posters have actually used one.
So far, I'm very impressed.

P.S.  I'll be on 20M and 40M CW this evening aroung 0000Z if anyone
needs a QSL from NA-083.
