If you want a non-drift Icom, buy the tcxo. We all know that ALL rigs
drift at warm up. My Omni-d drifts faster than I can turn the dial at warm
up.
Now if only Ten-Tec could come up with a rig for a reasonable price
that was worth having. I guess it's either all or nothing.
Granted, there's something to say about great service and support,,, BUT:
I consider $2600 outrageous for an antique that's the size of a 50's
hi-fi and has to be bought factory direct, thus not supporting any
local ham shops. ($1500 would put it more in the ballpark.)
I think dodge should market a new '93 Caravan factory direct
for $45,000, and you have to purchase it sight unseen to try it
out. (money back guarantee, you pay shipping both ways, of course.
translates into $50 just to try it and puts the burden on you to return
it.)
All of you can have at it. I'll pass.
