[TenTec] hamfest and new-ham rigs

[Art Searle W2NRA]

Hi Caity,
I bought one of the first Patcomms.  It was more of a prototype and the 
built-in keyer could not send code correctly.  After bringing it back a 
couple of times the owner confessed it wasn't ready for prime time and 
gave me a refund.  Pity, I kinda liked the radio.

I work right around the corner from where they used to be, Flowerfield 
in St James (or is that Stony Brook there?), New York.  I go by there 
every once in a while and I see no evidence of them still being in 
business.  Did they move?

73,
