Correct, they're both "R" companies and at my age, that's enough to
confuse them. 😉 I still don't know what precipitated the demise of
Ten-Tec but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a pandemic.

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

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.
