I will consult with my friend. his opinion on the 340 is above reproach in
my book

he has more years using receivers of this class than anyone else that I
know. he also has over 25 years of monitoring experience.

well then everyone should be buying a 350 and saving $2500.

if they were so close, what was worth the extra $2500. that is a lot
to pay for one feature

My friend Dean is pretty much an authority on the 340 and says the
sync is not that good.

I think that most of the 340 owners out there would think you are
crazy if you say they are similar receivers ("not a whole lot of
difference")! I know my friend Dean would groan if I told him what
you said !

Thanks in advance for your input.

I had one for over a year, it had the optional remote keypad and
the latest V1.15 software update. I thought it was a good
receiver, sensitive, lots of bandwidth choices (34 I think), good
audio, good agc, decent synchronous detector if properly used. The
only reason I sold mine was to buy a Ten Tec RX-340. I actually
ran them side by side for over a month before selling the 350D,
not a whole lot of difference between the two receivers imho. I
think the biggest gripe most owners have about it is the seemingly
indifference by Ten Tec to updates on the software which has a
couple of minor (IMHO) bugs.

Well, they both heard the same signals, both had decent audio, both
were "dead on" as far as frequency readout. Sure the 340 has 58
bandwidths vs, 34 for the 350D. Yes, the 340 has a better
synchronous detector. But, the 350D has a better noise reduction
and blanking system. It's not like I just started using receivers
Mike, I'm 62 years old and have owned more receivers than some
small dealers have sold. I'm just relating my experiences with the
two receivers. I have an extensive antenna system and a real good
multicoupler, so it was an equal test imho.


Can you define "the sync is not that good" a little better?

OK, out of six reviews one person mentioned the same complaint I have
with the sync losing lock on rapidly fading signals so I can't agree
with your friends statement that the sync is not that good. The sync is
very good other than that one performance problem.
