Ten Tec RX-350D discontinued

Several years ago, when I was in the market for a good tabletop communications receiver, I investigated this model. It was unfortunate that, though it appeared to have a great deal of promise, Ten-tec never really followed through with support, "software" (operating) improvements, etc. (I bought, as many of you know, an AOR AR7030 Plus.) To answer another message on this post, while the radio could be controlled by computer (as can my AOR), it is, in fact, a stand-alone (traditional) tabletop radio. Even as it was, however, it was, at least according to virtually all the reviews I read, a good radio and I know there are many owners who are very happy with their 350s. This is a sad day for all SW listeners. In my opinion, should one wish to have a modern, well-designed, shortwave communications receiver, of which there are fewer and fewer choices, the time to buy is now. Sacrifice what you will - lunches, movies, cable-TV, clothes and jewelry for your wife (better have pre-paid funeral arrangements if you go that route!), whatever - and buy any one of these top-quality receivers (and I do NOT mean some "used" eBay wonder!). You won't regret it. Yeah that's to bad. This was a consumer priced DSP radio. I know they were late with the software upgrades but I think people that bought the radio were finally happy with it. -- Telamon Ventura, California Well, there are new DSP receivers on the way.... http://kd-elektronik.com/index_e.html |
