Hello, I was just wondering, is Ten-Tec the only American manufacturer
of ham radio equipment? I have not seen any others that claim to be
american made. I was hoping that there would be more than one.
Thanks

Patcomm at http://www.patcommradio.com/ is the only other American
maker I know of, for factory-built transceivers in the 100 watt class.

Elecraft has a 100 watt rig, as well as several QRP rigs, but they are
all offered in kit form.

Ameritron, Alpha, Command and QRO all offer pretty good high power ham
amplifiers.

Otherwise, there are plenty of domestic companies that make things
like antenna tuners and accessories, but the American-made pickings
are generally pretty slim.

There are several American CB makers who offer stuff for "ham use" but
I'd stay away from them.
