[TenTec] Tennessee Dreamin'

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

<<<It came out at $495 (with one band module).... and it was produced for 
over
ten years....   It was a success, I would think.....>>>

Okay I'll take a correction on that.

<<<>Abt 25 yrs ago, TT also made a cw only xceiver.  Century 21.  I don't
>believe it went over all that well either.

It was popular and you see a lot of them on Ebay.  It became outdated when
the new WARC bands appeared after 1981.>>>

I clearly recall there wasn't exactly a stampede to buy them but I guess it 
all depends on
how you define "popular."  I recall there was some discontent over the price 
for a rig
that only did cw and nothing else, but i will concede that it did cw very 
well.

I would not equate "lot of them on ebay" with popularity.

73,
Rob/K5UJ
