Dennis,The folks that get on here and trash Ten Tec service and rates open
themselves up for criticism. If they can't take the criticism then don't post
these incredibly narrow sighted and uninformed comments. Nothing was ever free
- ten years ago, 30 years ago or 100 years ago. Customer service charged to
overhead was never free, someone paid. Today with the handouts we have in this
country, everyone thinks "stuff" should be free. Again, Nothing is free,
someone is always picking up the tab. I gave a quite brilliant disortation on
one of the Yahoo Group sites not long ago about Business economics, free market
and managerial accounting functions. Part of that discussion dealt with unit
cost and overhead. Here is a refresher - The only ways to fund overhead is
from customer charges or profit. Manfacturing and Large Service Businesses
don't last if they fund overhead from profit, therefore, each dollar a customer
spends has a portion which funds the OH pool. Manufacturing allocation of
overhead is a component of the total unit cost. Service overhead is a
component of labor rate. Since we still live in a Democracy with freedom of
speech, I recommend you don't get on here talking business principles when you
don't know what you are talking about. Stay on the technical merits of the
radio or operating principles for which this blog is meant and you won't
receive my criticism. There are other radio brands and blogs elsewhere.
