I worked for a company that was bought out by Raytheon. I couldn't retire soon
enough.

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.

IIRC, Rockwell, not Raytheon.

Ummm ... Art Collins had a very large military business in addition to a
small amateur one, and sold his company to Raytheon who, it turned out, had
little 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.
