Yep, shown at the end of the description:

Think they will come out with another commercial radio?


That's a very good question!

One I certainly don't have an answer for.

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.

I have never owned a Ten-Tec before.From what some people say,I gather
Ten-Tec makes some good radios,but their business/software department
needs some improving.At least they are made in the good old U.S.A.I need
to look around for a good deal on a non computer operated Ten-Tec Radio.

Ten -Tec is concentrating on higher priced
products. RX 400 (coming soon), RX- 340,Orion II (high performance
xceiver) are not marketed for an average SWL.Very sad indeed...

What price range will the RX 400 be at?

Looks like computer control only. I hope that TCP/IP is an ethernet port
for at least 10 Mbit data rate instead of a slow serial port. You can
add an ethernet port to any product for $50 to $150.
