[TenTec] Ten Tec "Speculator"

[Stephen Roberts]

Really, this is getting SO old. Ten Tec isn't a big company. Users might think of it as some huge outfit, but it's not. As a consequence they obviously have to be frugal about how they spend their money, that is if they want to stay in business.  I'm assuming you would prefer that they put that money into R&D and not throw it down the black hole of print advertising or regional hamfests. It's very easy to drop 10-15K at a hamfest or trade show. That's why most manufacturers are putting their money into online advertising more and more every year. 

Of course, I'm just speculating ;-)
