Good point. No real comparison to other QRP rigs? Well, maybe the SGC
QRP rig? The DSP filtering may separate the Ten Tec offering from the
others. The Elecraft is a kit, over $1K with the good stuff in it, but
WAY better receiver performance than the other QRP rigs. Low current
drain, internal battery, ATU, made for portability. The Yaesu FT 817,
not much of a receiver for rough conditions, high current on receive but
physically made to be portable, includes VHF and, of late, less than
$600 I see. Has anyone compiled a bigger list of the QRP rig offerings
with prices for comparison?
