I'm really, really glad I bought my O2 before I discovered this reflector...I
would have missed out on a great rig. Yeah, there's a few improvements needed,
I expect the the fixes will be forthcoming, but imagine for example, if you
just hated the location of a particular plug or knob, there isn't a version
2.xxx or 3.xxx that could ever fix that...yet the thought of a fix for your
"issues" just keeps you boiling. The constant harangue on this reflector is
deafening...and now there's ragging on a radio that hasn't even hit the market.
Yeah, some will couch it as humor or idle talk, but is it really?, or do you
need to upgrade your personality firmware to something in the 8.xxx range? Hey
guys take a look in the mirror...you're almost certainly not high end
yourselves. How about taking a few evening walks, skip a few fries, cut down on
the booze, lose some pounds and lower that blood pressure...you'll feel better
about Ten-Tec, ham radio and the world. BTW, if my old lady
griped the way you guys do I'd kick her to the curb in a New York minute,
she's smart and knows better.
I've hung on to this reflector for endless months hoping to glean useful
information and ideas I could apply to my TT radio experiences but because of
the QRN and QRM of endless reflector emails at QRO which is littered with
personal insults, whining, and useless chatter I've turned this reflector off.
I'll probably do an occasional reflector word search if I have a particular
question I can't resolve elsewhere but until that happens, I'm spinning the
dial. Life is too short, it should be enjoyed. So when I'm not having a blast
fly fishing, playing league tennis at the local club, snow skiing, water
skiing, just cruising Tahoe or the nearby lakes at 50+ mph, or traveling the
west in my RV we might just QSO over the mobile airwaves on my Scout or 1220
while I'm camping or when I'm relaxing back at the homestead QTH on the O2, I
hope it's fun and not a reflector rehash, see ya! Really, you guys need to get
out more and lose the stress. Oh yeah, this isn't my main email
address, so if you're still running personality firmware 0.xxx you're welcome
to flame away...
until we QSO on the air, 73 and it's reflector QRT for me, have fun!
