[TenTec] Serious market overlooked by ham manufacturers

[Bill Rowlett]

Yes they would, but only one time. What is the total number of vhf/uhf contesters in this country. Not enough for the expence of coming out with a new transverter. The ones they had are no longer in production for that very reason. Not enough sales to make a dine, the same fate as the 6n2.

Competitive prices.? I bet a lot of VHF/UHF contesters would come out of the wood work and buy one.> > Jim Walroth, N3AWS> _______________________________________________> TenTec mailing list> TenTec at contesting.com> http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
