This is starting to sound like the list when the Orion came 
out, and folks were standing in line to bash it!
I try to take a reasonable look at their gear, and some of
it has met my needs better than other models.
I do like TenTec and their products, but they are not going
to keep going off my purchases.  
I just like the older models better.  The biggest thing I
see wrong with their direction is taking the rf gain out 
of the Scout and Argonaut V, and putting every thing 
in those hideous JBB's (Jap Black Boxes) which resemble
a vcr, a blue-ray, or some other throw away consumer
device.
Another miscue was taking the little Orange dot from
the middle of the emblem.  If you're not a Vol fan,
you may not have noticed this.

Last, not least, was advertising them as "The SSB Rig."
That's not why I bought them!  

All spoken with tongue in cheek.....no flames, pls.
Lighten up!

John, K4AVX
