[TenTec] [QRP-L] HB1B 4 Band Portable QRP Rig

[Walt Amos]

More than likely, they can't make that radio, for THAT price, in the USA and 
will eventually have to change there web sight statement! Lots of those itty 
bitty parts in the ORION come from the far east! They probably come into San 
Francisco on clipper ships along with the TEA?
