I think this is another straw argument for the most part.  Ten Tec service
is usually quite good, and I am glad to deal with those fellows.  However,
I just got some free parts from kenwood to fix my ancient TS 440 in about
2 days from the factory.  I get a lot of free advice anytime over on the
Kenwood list from their authorized service guy, Clif at Avvid.  

The guys over on the Kenwood list (where I also hang out) do not rag on
Ten Tec, by the way.

As I have stated before (and probably will again), I choose Ten Tec rigs
whenever they are meet my requirements better than other rigs.  Service
and reliability seem to be a wash to me.  Its what the rig does when I
turn it on that counts.
