However, it becomes a problem when a business farms out work to get out of
establishing a full-time job and paying benefits and medical insurance.
There are a lot of people these days who are "employed" but not really
employed, if you define employed as meaning a fair wage possibly with
collective bargaining. Politicians like to talk about all the jobs being
created and the low unemployment, but they are mostly part-time or on-call
jobs and not the kind of jobs that give people financial security and a
future. If Ten Tec creates good jobs by not farming out work, more power
to them because we need those jobs.
Unrelated note: When you shop at stores with "self-checkout" do you use
those facilities? If you do, you are helping retail businesses use
machines to avoid creating jobs that people need.
And you may be helping the business keep their costs down as well as your
own!
True for businesses and government. I have seen a government agency reduce
cost by remote maintenance monitoring, built in test equipment (BITE),
replaceing tube type equipment with solid state that required less
maintenance plus many other areas that resulted in saving the taxpayer
money, but the number of government Electronic Technicians (GS-856) also
decreased as a result of this.

Ron.... from the prospective of these dinky American radio companies
(Flex and Elecraft) , why would they lie and put out bad info? We all
know that both these companies are credible with their products'
claims. I do not see them needing to do this because they went
outside their company for firmware / software design. This is
completely documented. Ten-Tec, on the other hand announced today
that all software / firmware work on Orion / Orion II / OMNI VII and
others was all done in house. These little companies went out of
house to have a really nice and functional product. I look forward to
confirmation of the numbers by ARRL and others. Not buying Ten Tec
any time soon! From what I read, they should probably seek outside
help for their software as well.... at least for the ORION's. 73's
