Subject: [TenTec] Are Entry Lewvel Rigs Blowing Smoke?
Date: Thu, 19 May 2005 15:45:42 -0400 (EDT)
I think that what the world really needs is a good five cent cigar!
I have owned 6 or 8 TecTecs over the years plus a much larger and more
varied assortment of other brands. I think for simplicity and ease of
operation nothing has ever surpassed my Argosy. I hooked it to a vertical
and ran DX. I bought the little relay box was respectable with a small
Amp on 75 meters. It is a good basic mobile unit too....................
The thing is "The Brand Xers" have developed what they choose to call
"entry level" rigs . That is their terminology. I, would prefer to see
something akin to an updated Argosy. A basic rig or as some of us see it,
a decent little mobile rig. I think that an Argosy 2000 could be sold a
similar price point as the Brand X. I also believe that it's market
share at that price point would be higher than must people might estimate.
Just how important is cramming a lot of goodies in something very cheap
& small? I think the ham
world's answer to this question might be surprising.. Larry GreenbergN5BEA
