Is there any reason to make a side trip to Ten-Tec's facility? Do they
have
a retail store there? Or better yet, an outlet store?

Yes, there's a retail store at the facility and they welcome visitors.
(they don't only sell Ten-Tec gear; they have a variety of other ham
gear & accessories)

In fact, they're having a hamfest there this weekend - Friday 3-8pm &
Saturday 9am-3pm.

I've not been there so I can't tell you how to find it.

When you're there ask them when the 350 will be updated?

Based upon what I've heard about Ten-Tec in years past they may never update it
again. They unfortunately have a habit of releasing radios, maybe having a few
updates, and then support of the radio is dropped in favour of moving on to new
projects.

That's at least what I've gleaned over the past years. Others may agree or
disagree.

That's just about what has happened to the RX-350. Ten-Tec has not released
a firmware upgrade in over 2 years. They seem to be pretending that the
receiver doesn't exist. That's too bad as it has some amazing features.
