Ummm ... Art Collins had a very large military business in addition to a small

interest in building amateur gear. The decision to leave the market was
voluntary, although I have vague memories of one incredibly expensive
Raytheon-Collins HF transceiver [KWM-380? or something like that] before the
end. I don't know why Ten-Tec left, they had a very loyal and well deserved
following, but running a business is really complex, and they expired well
before COVID became a word. To each his own.
