WHOA, HOLD ON A SEC!

I know you don't like Larry Magne. I frankly don't care why -- we've
covered it repeatedly in email, so I don't think we need to go there
again.

But if you claim he, or any other reviewer, called the Sat 800, quote,
"the best shortwave receiver in the world," unquote, you'd better be
able to back that up, chapter, verse, publication, page, etc.

That's way the hell over the line, Peter.



I'll refer you to any SAT 800 direct mail piece, the preview
commentary by Grove and any of the numerous ads for SAT 800 during the
first couple of years of release. It's been published vitually
continuously. And discussed here to death. It's also in virtually any
e-Bay listing straight from the Lextronix presentation materials offered
to 'officially authorized retailers.'

If you want page numbers, I'm sorry. I read the comments, laughed out
loud and dismissed them. I didn't catalog them. Maybe I should start
doing that, this being USENet, and all.

Perhaps someone here has a SAT 800 direct mail piece they can scan
for you. Particularly the one where SAT 800 is claimed to be German
radio would be fun.

Might it be in back issues of Passport? I have various editions here I could
check.
