Whatever you do, avoid getting an old Murch Ultimate Transmatch UT-2000 unless you like a tuner box full of purple fire. 73, Mike N4NT This is just a short note to thank Richards K8JHR for taking the

Having used several of the "older" Ten-Tec rigs, my feeling is that 98% of the time I am much happier using an audio filter in the rig than a crystal filter. The audio CW filter makes them sound like
