Wow!

They sent me the manual for the SP-325 (without me even assking) to help 
support my RX-325 which is a close cousin. Many of the boards and parts 
are the same. Did Ten Tec say having a TV in a radio was foolish or did 
some other (rude) people say that and now it's being attributed to Ten 
Tec. I haven't seen a "crummy" scope - is there a URL to pictures and 
specs of crummy scopes? I might find one of those useful here. Are they 
cheap?

I happen to *like* radios that not only "feel cheap" but actually *ARE* 
cheap. Make that Cheap (capital C). Radio is a hobby for me and NOT a 
profession.

I really do hope you feel better soon.
