RE: [TenTec] Old Vs. New Technology

["Rick Westerman" <Rick@dj0ip.de>]

One small point, [almost] ALL older rigs, Ten-Tec or otherwise
had a minor blemish when trying to work split with a large
difference in TX and RX frequency.  Since they had a built-in
preselector, you could either tune it to the TX frequency or to
the RX frequency.  The radio would be slightly insensitive on the
frequency where the preselector was not tuned to.

This was not a big issue in day to day work, but in contest work
where you might want to monitor both frequencies or to do rapid
switching, it was a bit of a handicap.
