Hi,

I've owned so many Ten Tec rigs that I can't remember.  The 540 (still have 
it), Century 21, Century 22, original Argosy analog, OMNI-C, 580, OMNI VI, etc. 
 Also have used the Pegasus extensively.  

I've never had a problems with RF getting into Ten Tec rigs.  Often and maybe 
usually, I haven't even grounded them, especially when portable or mobile or 
borrowing the Pegasus from a friend.

I've used Ten Tecs from Ohio to Wisconsin to California to North Carolina and 
several places off the North American continent.  No problems at all.

So, I presume any RF problems described on this site must be unique and 
characteristic to any particular operator's site.

The only time I've had RF problems was in the old days with tube gear such as 
kits from companies which are long gone, including Heathkit.  Even those could 
have been solved by proper grounding.

Ouch!  Those RF bites used to hurt and make my spine tingle.

73s,

Rick
