Steve and Chris,
FT1000 and FT1000MP (they are completely different beasts!) are good
rigs
(Chris, I don't think I'd go as far as to say "great" rigs),but, they still
can't hold a candle to the Ten Tec product. Ten Tec's rx performance IMHO
is streets ahead of ALL the rice boxes. This is a users point of view - I
don't have thousands and thousands of £'s ($'s) worth of test equipment to
back that statement up, just a pair of ears that find the Ten Tec rigs the
best available tool for hearing and working the weak ones - so there!
Steve,
If you take Ten Tec up on their 30 day offer you won't be handing the
radio back, promise! (I wish the Omni VI was available over here!!)
All the best to all the gang from an incurable Ten Tec user here in the
U.K.
73! to all de Wayne - G0JJQ
