John,
Though I even agree with you, I remind you that we are only two people.
Of the 700,000 hams in the US, how many do you think work SSB, as opposed to
CW?
I have no problem with the line, "The SSB Rig" (thought it was "the SSB
Company"), if that helps them to stay in business.
But shame on them for removing the dedicated RF control.

This is starting to sound like the list when the Orion came out, and folks
were standing in line to bash it!
I try to take a reasonable look at their gear, and some of it has met my
needs better than other models.
I do like TenTec and their products, but they are not going to keep going
off my purchases.
I just like the older models better. The biggest thing I see wrong with
their direction is taking the rf gain out of the Scout and Argonaut V, and
putting every thing in those hideous JBB's (Jap Black Boxes) which resemble
a vcr, a blue-ray, or some other throw away consumer device.
Another miscue was taking the little Orange dot from the middle of the
emblem. If you're not a Vol fan, you may not have noticed this.
Last, not least, was advertising them as "The SSB Rig."
That's not why I bought them!
All spoken with tongue in cheek.....no flames, pls.
Lighten up!
John, K4AVX
