[TenTec] re Oh?

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Noticed the price of copper these days?  It is up almost 200% since 1 year 
ago.  Look for the other companies to kick in a price increase too.

Yes, QSK with the Centurion is a real pleasure regardless of the mode.  Safe 
and secure with no fear of "hot keying" regardless of the mode.
