[TenTec] RE: Unveiling of DR1

[Martin Ewing <martin@aa6e.net>]

The URL is http://www.computeradio.us/DR1.htm by the way.

Some first reactions:

1.  Are we sure the announce date was July 4?  Not April 1?
2.  Where's the CW key?
3.  Nice mock-up.  Is it real stainless steel? aluminum? cardboard?
4.  Even fewer specs than the IC-7800.

Seriously, maybe this is how software designed radios will be packaged.  
The box looks suspiciously like my PC tower.  Note the spinner knob, 
keypad, and infra-red remote(?).  Not as satisfying for me as a real 
control panel, but infinitely flexible.

Software:  Is it open source?  User extensible?  (They say so.) Runs 
Linux? (They don't say.)

Good luck to them.

-Martin, AA6E
