I agree the current ads do little to sell the equipment.

I contacted TenTec about that recent ad which shows a graph over photos of the gear. I said it was ineffective at selling the radio, and that no one would understand why the graph was there. They said "it shows how clean the audio is... and I said, "to whom?" I think the whole meaning is lost. They said it was the graphical depiction of the 3d stage IF output... or something like that... Dah wha?

I am a TT fan and think the ads are weak at best. They should brag about how good the rig is... good audio, good receiver... easy menu drive.... good looks... easy ergonomics... all strong points -- and the graph overlay does nothing to convey clean audio.

Just My take.

of late I've not been too convinced of the effectiveness of Ten-Tec advertising.
