Subject: Re: [Drakelist] Ten-Tec and Drake Compared
I have a friend that has had Ten Tec equipment since the 1970s and I
would agree completely with Garey's "word in the Ham community". Every
one of his rigs has spent a lot of ground time (truck time) going to
Tennessee and back. It's also true about the outstanding service
department too. He's happy about it.

One thing about Ten-Tec gear. The 'word' in the Ham community was
that, 'The good news is that Ten-Tec has an outstanding service
department, with friendly, helpful techs readily available. They very
often will ship a replacement board on the promise that you would send
back the defective one.' 'The bad news is, you are almost certainly
going to NEED that outstanding service department!'
Let's be fair ....
the same is true for other manufacturers of ham radio products
regarding reliability ....
The difference here is that you could almost repair TT radio at home.
You could be back on the air in no time.
On the other hand, you may have to send other radio brands for service
and wait weeks.
