Ten-Tec RX-350D opinions?
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. Bill Crocker |

Bill Crocker 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. Les Locklear |

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 ! "Les" wrote in message oups.com...

Les Locklear 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. Les Les |

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.

read these reviews of the RX-340, I don't think that they would say the 350
and 340 are about the same///////// http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/3757 for that matter, read Magnes reviews, I don't think he would say they are similar either........

Les Locklear Opinions are like assholes Mike, everyone has one and lots of them stink. I operated both receiver side by side and i stated my opinion. Magne isn't the end all for receiver reviews ya know. I know you had a bad experience and seem to have a hard on for Ten Tec. That is your opinion and right. Mine differed from yours. Les |

That problem was corrected, they made a low pass filter available at no charge to owners of older RX-350's. Les |
