In defense of the Ten Tec: - The Century 22 is a design from about 20 years ago. A lot has changed!
- The C22 was the bottom-of-the-line for Ten Tec when it was made.Lots of compromises in the design. - IIRC, the C22 receiver is not a superhet like the K2 or K1. It's a form of direct conversion, which means you hear both sides of zero beat, doubling the apparent QRM. All the selectivity is audio, and so is the AGC. - The tuning rate of the C22 is about 18 kHz per turn of the knob. That's a lot faster than the K2, making the band seem more crowded, since one turn takes you through a lot more signals. Both are good rigs. 73 de Jim, N2EY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
