Well one scenario I can thing of is someone installs after market software,
it doesn't work right and many features left out, radio is sold as is to new
owner, new owner says this is a piece of @^$$%# and send it off to TenTec
with a nasty letter saying effectively , FIX THIS PIECE OF #^%@ AS YOU MADE
IT ! Probably not quite a WIN-WIN for poor old TenTec ?

It would sure seem that TT could kill two birds with one stone by allowing
3rd parties to write
code for their radios. Proprietary software is a valuable business asset
but only if you
capitalize on it . Since TT is seemingly not willing (or able) to drive
sales of their radios
by demonstrating a capability of providing the software updates and
enhancements they tout in
the advertisements, it would seem smart to allow others to do so.
I'm not sure why this is not seen as a win-win by them.
