I used to have one. The only issue I had with mine was that it was not
possible to set the QSK speed slower. This made it incompatible with my
ancient Mirage 6 meter brick amplifier. I went back to using my
Argonaut II with my transverters, and now am using the Omni V for this
as I acquired a nice Corsair II for low band CW duties. I found the 6&2
receiver to be more than adequate and it got good audio reports. The
noise blanker worked well, too.

I have an opportunity to acquire one of these at what I think is an
attractive price ($400).
My question is, will I be happy with the radio vs. an Icom 275 or 271 or
Yaesu / Kenwood equivalent?
I certainly do not want to start a lengthy string here of the overall merits
of Ten-Tec vs you know whom ... I'm just looking for some constructive
feedback on the "I've actually used it" performance specs of this relatively
obscure (at least to me!) radio as opposed to other purchase options I may
have.
Please let's leave out the "Made in America" and "great Ten-Tec service"
snippets ... I'm a Ten-Tec believer already with an Omni VI , Corsair II,
and Titan.
Thanks in advance for the input. Please cc my email address (
w8kzw*at*arrl.net ) in your reply to the reflector should you choose to
respond ... my feeds are batched and I need to make a decision quickly.
