[TenTec] Any suggestions?

[Jim Lowman]

Difficult question, John.  I suppose it would depend on how certain a shack is in your future.

In my case, I'll be retiring within the next 4.5 years, and my wife has retired already.  We plan on leaving soCal for sure; possibly to the Big Island of Hawai'i.  If the latter, we will not be taking much, due to the expense of shipping.

Even the earliest of Ten-Tec radios sell very well, and I would expect them to do so two years from now.

Of course you're aware of the infamous "seller's remorse" when it comes to ham gear.
