[TenTec] Omni VI vs ICOM 746Pro

Hi Fred,

It's almost impossible to get the rid of the Ten Tec bug once you are 
infected. Many have tried but they usually come back. I am not talking about the 
Amateurs who listen to all of the Ten Tec bashing on 75 meters, then order a TT 
rig for a free 30 day evaluation, only to get their money back and then go to 
Eham product review to give the TT rig a ZERO rating. No, I am not talking about 
these mindless morons. Let them enjoy mediocrity; this is what they deserve. 
" WATCH THE CLOUDS FLOAT BY, I'll make the Q's..."

 I am talking about Amateurs of sound mind who have spent years ENJOYING one 
TT rig or another, then decide to try one of the new JA whiz, bang, light-show 
rigs. Most of these fellows, in my experience, do come back and wonder why 
they ever left. Others may have different stories. 

I have been a Ten Tec fan since I was a snotty nosed high school kid who 
could not afford the Drakes, Collins or even the Swans. My PM-3 and 80-40 meter 
doublet gave me plenty of long hours of Ten Tec fun. 

Years later and now that I can afford which ever rig or rig's I desire, I 
purchase only rigs made in Tennessee. In fact my Ten Tec bug has reached the 
terminal stage. I have over 60 pieces of Ten Tec gear and can't stand to part with 
any of them.  

Does any know if there is a 12 step recovery program for Ten Tec-aholics??? 
Maybe, Ten Tec Anonymous??? Not that I would ever go but surely, I am,"  NOT 
ALONE..."

You might check with Ten Tec Sales. I am sure they can fix you up with an 
Omni 6 or 6+ in very good condition and for a reasonable price. The Omni 6 series 
are great rigs and will give you performance that you will enjoy for years to 
come.. IMHO...
