Paul, I hit "send" too fast. My real reply should be in the achieve.
I'm definitely against a Ten Tec "do it all" radio (vhf, uhf, 220, 1.2 gig).
Someone was complaining that there 706 did it all and only cost x amount of
dollars. Why didn't the Orion work on all those other bands? My comment had
something to do with "let's stick to a good hf rig". I've not seen an hf,
vhf , uhf, etc etc, rig that rig that compares to Ten Tec hf rigs.
Sorry for the confusion. If Ten Tec keeps on doing 160-10 as well as they
always have, that is fine with me. I saw that and said nasty words. Check
another message from me and you'll understand I don't want a Ten Tec all
band rig.
Chow call...
73 Mike

Mike that is the problem with the 706 having VHF, UHF. If I had a radio
which was for 160-10 I would be happy. You know why I feel that way? I am
not an engineer! I am not a complainer. I have a 706 MKIIG and my TenTec
Triton IV handles noise a lot better than the 706.
