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 !

Interested in hearing opinions on Ten-Tec's RX-350D HF receiver.
It's very
expensive, and it doesn't appear to be in wide use.


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.
