Default Ten Tec RX-350D discontinued

From what I hear, the problem is that Ten-Tec never sold enough of them
(RX-350) to make any money. It may be that Drake, Ten-Tec, Kenwood, NRD and
others no longer see a viable market in high end receivers.

That may be the case. I never had the sense that the RX-350 was a big
seller. Ten-Tec certainly seems to be selling plenty of the RX-320D,
and I've been tempted to buy one of those little gems myself. And of
course Ten-Tec still sells the RX-340. It's their mid-range receiver
that they're dropping--and of course we're just *assuming* that they're
dropping it, rather than retiring it to make room for a successor.
