Sorry about you opinion on Tennessee Trash!

Lot's of 340 owners will tell you they wish they had never bought the rig!


Besides you, I'd like to hear about these "Lot's" [sic].


They are "FAIR" at best!....And mine have been to Ten Tec twice to see if
they can be "fixed" or "Improved".

Each has had a dozen different antenna systems tried on them and still they
suck. They "Sucked" at Ten Tec on their antenna as well while I was there!

I live 20 minutes from Sevierville and thats why I bought them.


You tested them, hated them, then bought two. So who is the real
"Tennessee Trash?"

The radio isn't perfect by any stretch -- not by a long shot -- but it
is one of the nicer radios I've had the pleasure of playing with. It
does exactly what I wanted it to do.


Both of mine will be coming up on Ebay soon.


....may I suggest that you work on your sales pitch a bit?

Now there's a bull**** post. You should try actually using an antenna.
Or maybe you forgot to turn the RX-340s on?
