Boy... that's harsh.
Doug, I don't know what happened to you -- and I know from your previous
posts that you don't care what others think of your opinion. So be it.
All I can tell you is:
-- That my Corsair II runs rings, operationally, around my TS-140S.
-- That I still remain impressed with the Orion that W3WH used to own.
-- That the Omni VI+ that he picked up for a song is as impressive a rig as
the Orion is, especially when you consider the differences in age and
technology between the two rigs.
-- That the Omni VI+ that NB3C(KQ3DX) has puts the Yaesu rigs in his shack
to shame.
-- Finally, a few years ago when K3VX & I ran N3SH in the Pa QSO Party while
W3WH ran a SO QRP entry from the next cabin... Bill's Argonaut V ran solid
and acted like Larry's IC-706 wasn't in the same county, while the '706 knew
every single time Bill keyed. And Bill ran at 5 W out, while the '706 ran a
full 100 W.
And anytime I've had a service issue or question for Ten-Tec -- and
sometimes on behalf of others, not myself -- I've gotten help and answers.
And I'm nobody special.
So, one has to wonder why you have the troubles you seem to claim you have?
But I guess that's a rhetorical question that will never be answered, since
you don't want to discuss it further. OK then.

OK...everyone has an opinion. Atleast the other SDR company responds to
product and customer needs.
