[ICOM] criticism of other manufacturer's radios

Technical comparisons regarding other manufacturer's radios (with 
details regarding important specs) do help me understand different 
tradeoffs.  They all make them differently, that's why I own a piece of 
equipment from Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood and Ten Tec.

I personally find harsh criticism of other manufacturer's equipment 
unhelpful (even if cathartic to the writer!  I respect that, of 
course.)   I've worked pretty hard over on the Ten Tec reflector 
towards the same goal :-)  Really.

My personal opinion.  Happy to correspond more about it (probably off 
line is best.)

P.S. One factual error:  I've bought used Ten Tec gear from Burghardt 
and the Ham Station.  These two dealers currently have traded-in Ten 
Tec equipment listed for sale.
