Toby, I appreciate your reasoning but I don't agree in this specific case.
Ten-Tec has a strong, established, well proven, high performance HF
platform to build on. It has matured seamlessly through Orion, Orion II,
Eagle and RX366. Likewise, they have the in-house DSP expertise from the
Orions, Omni7, and Eagle development. I say they WILL have a new flagship
in the near future.
