[TenTec] Inspired by TenTec!

[Byron Cordes]

Have to agree with Rick , SDR with big display Is what most ham want. However l would like to see a filter up radio with SDR. I do run a filter radio with high cost filters but it does work better on the weak stations the other 98% of the time the SDR radio works great ! Looks impressive too.
  Maybe Ten Tec could bring back the 238 tuner!
I have one and been looking for one more they just don’t come up for sale. But to bring in a new radio would be hard. Icom 7300 has changed the radio world and that’s the radio Ten Tec would be up against unless the go for a top  end  radio $5000 or  more . there is some interest one band wonders . Inexpensive !  Can’t make much money on them .
  If they would just sell anything it would give some hope but it is what it is.  
  I have sold both of my Orion’s and my Eagle. Keeping the Omni VI plus (I can work on it)  and a Drake r4c and use a cheap SDR for a monitor as I think the ship is going down Captain!
