I don't know where in its history it started, but Ten-Tec for a long 
time, possibly since the beginning, did not make a profit from the ham 
radio business. It was subsidized by their case and military radio 
business.

Up until the early 1990's MFJ products were in Ten-Tec cases.

Without the case and military radio business, Ten-Tec has to make a 
profit from the start, something almost impossible to do.
