[TenTec] Ten-Tec Price Increases April 1

[Gary Krause]

Yes Ron, I'm a very happy Argonaut V owner as well as a Century 22 
owner.  I bought the Century 22 in the 80's and it's still going.  I 
guess I should have been more direct in my original email and just said 
that I am disappointed in the price increase.   What it boils down to is 
this:  For quite a while now I have been thinking about buying a 
Jupiter.  I've also been looking at the K2 and thinking about that.  
They are both fine radios and the K2 has a very large following and it's 
receiver has become legendary.  I probably should say that I operate a 
lot of QRP.  Now that their is a price increase with the Jupiter, it 
makes the K2 look even more appealing.  But, not only that it broadens 
the playing field with the Icom 746 Pro which I was once looking at.  
So, now I'm back where I first started months ago trying to decide which 
direction to go.  Well, maybe not exactly the same place. I know all the 
pro's and con's of each rig since I have had plenty of time to 
research.  So, that's why I'm disappointed and maybe a little 
frustrated.  They aren't making it easy!  But, hey, sometimes you just 
got to let them know how you feel.:-)
