[TenTec] Ten-Tec Transceiver Survey

[James Duffey]

I, and I suspect many VHF/UHF enthusiasts, would like to see a 222MHz  
(1.25m) rig, or a VHF/UHF rig that incorporates this band. As 222 MHz  
is only available in region 1, it is pretty much up to the US ham  
radio manufacturers to come up with one.

I suspect that a 2m/1.25m/70cm rig would sell well. It would  
compliment the many HF rigs, including the Omni VII, that have 6M  
facilities. The old Ten Tec 6N2 is still very much in demand in the  
used market, and I suspect that if 1.25 were added to this platform it  
would sell well. A VHF/UHF platform based on the Omni VII would  
probably sell well.

This is one area in which Ten-Tec could take a leadership role without  
worry of competition from the Japanese vendors, and without too much  
worry from Elecraft or Flex Radio.

Just identifying a niche that needs to be filled. - Duffey
