JR; I wish Ten Tec the very best and may very well buy another Ten Tec since
my wonderful OMNI VII plus is such a great transceiver and is getting OLD and
being being OBSOLETED to keep up with the "Jones". The Omni VI Plus is, in my
opinion, a great radio that will do all that the non contesting and ego feeding
amateur operator needs and would use.
But before you assume that someone, who probably has barely stayed afloat
themselves, is going to rescue Ten Tec take a look at the unstable history of
Alpha and its' successors. There are Alpha Amps out there that you might be
able to get tubes for or may not. I feel sure that if they are doing well, it
is because they may build RF Amps for the medical or industrial field.
There are hams who would pay a Zillion dollars to have a rig that very few
other hams could buy, but most egos like that cannot be satisfied because their
wallet or spouse will not allow it.
Over the past years, I have visited Pigeon Forge, Sevierville , visited Ten Tec
many times and have been to the Ten Tec Fest .We will be in Pigeon forge for a
week after we leave the Huntsville Ham fest on our way to Shelby Ham Fest., but
I see no value in going by just to see my friend Stan.
This is a discussion, not a debate because we all wish the best for Ten Tec,
but we wish to hear things that are more like the initial cry of a new born
baby than a death rattle. Lets talk about Alpha/whatever it is today and then
maybe we can become more enthused about the marriage. Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW

I don't knock any team I am on.
I do not understand why many TT fans assume the worst, and
do not expect
a winning season? Do they expect failure
whenever their favorite
sports team gets a new owner, or hires a new new coach, or
trades for
new players? Do they automatically assume
the new coach is a dolt and
incapable of developing a winning strategy?
All the negative talk suggests some TT fans think new
management is
foolish and lacks sufficient business acumen to chart a
successful course.
REAL FANS always believe their favorite team will win ...
always... no
matter what. If you predict a loss, you
"ain't no fan" - cause that is
tantamount to rooting for the other team. Even if the
league leading
quarterback is injured, you root like Heck for the second
string
replacement. Right? That is how REAL FANS do
it.
So why assume the new regime will fail? Why not have a
little faith,
and assume they know what they are doing? I do.
I think it will be better than business as usual.
Happy days.
