- That rate is very high. If you pay your bench techs $40 an hour, then add burdened labor rate of 50% on to that, it is $60 an hour. Then add another 50% for overhead and profit, you arrive at $80. So

- I will never pay $140.00 an hour for in the first place I cannot afford a $3000.00 radio. I had a lot of TenTec radios in the 70s and 80s and never paid more than $600.00 for a radio. Right now I hav

- OK, I need to jump in here. I had held off posting this because of the amount of traffic on this subject, but the cost to the company is more likely much higher than that. My source? a friend of mine

- Paul, there are a number of one man shops that dont have much of an overhead to speak of and could handle radio troubleshooting and repairs for less than TenTec or any other manufacturer could. 73 de

- BS. Those one-man shops simply don't know their costs. You guys are living the (distant) past. Sure, $15/hr was a decent wage -- in 1970. It sure isn't today. Try feeding yourself and your XYL on tha
