As I understand it, Tentec has a "non ham" project and it is one that
basically "pays the bills". The bills that pay the folks, keep the lights
on, and buys the components that produce products that hams enjoy. We
should all be thankful and patient for their resources and the fact that it,
this non-ham project exists.
