I used to live in Seymour TN, the next town over from Sevierville,
and I knew quite a few of the management and engineering people at
Ten Tec. I cannot say what their present situation is, but back when
I knew them, Tec Tec made its money from its Government radio
contracts and from custom machining in its tool room. They
consistently lost money on their ham gear. They stayed in the ham
business because 1) the top management were active hams and supported
ham radio, and 2) they made enough profit from their other operations
that they could afford to subsidize their ham manufacturing.

Well, TenTec does have some commercial and government radio contracts
and, I believe, they have a pretty succesful enclosure and tool and
die business that can stand alone. How lucritive? I'm not sure.
