Buying AND operating a HF transceiver are much more than the specifications
OR numbers. Its also what you intend to do with the radio and what it is
connected to and where, how much money you will spend, and YOUR skills and
capabilities. Rob makes a lot of valid points "is it fun to operate? is it
easy to operate" being two. But understanding the numbers is important to
avoid an expensive mistake. TenTec has the thirty day home trial which lets
you find out if the TenTec radio will work for you.
I've added a FLEX-1500 as a sub-receiver to my OMNI-VII and have found ways
to integrate contesting and DXing tools;

Subject: [TenTec] Rob Sherwood's CTU presentation
Rob asked me to send this to the reflector. He gave this talk at the
Contest University at Dayton.
The video is about 45 minutes long but covers all the points on
receivers and transmitters.

Would you reply back to this reflector with the following link to my
2013 CTU presentation.
I certainly have said many times choosing a transceiver is vastly more
complex than looking at one number.
