[TenTec] TT Mega Sale

[mcelmer1]

I am wondering if Ten Tec is cutting prices to dump as much equipment as 
possible before pulling out of amateur radio. The ceased/pulled of the 
enclosure sector of their business. I spoke with Stan about a month ago and 
there will not be a replacement for the Orion II. No plans to go beyond that 
radio.

Just a thought from a pessimist. However, remember the direction Collins 
went.
