The big differance is that Kenwood produces other electronic items, but
Ten
Tec's only produce ham related items as far as I know. TT has to keep
doing
somethig to sell the rigs or go out of business all together.

Amateur radio equipment is a small part of Ten-Tec's
business. Their radio equipment line also includes
commercial and military applications. In addition.
they sell a lot of enclosures, as well as tool and
die equipment.

Thanks for the info Bob. I had not looked to see what TT has produced in a
while. From what I saw I still doubt that TT could make much of a go if
they quit the ham business.
