Hi.

That attitude from Sevierville is why I've stopped even looking at Ten 
Tec's product line.  There are other companies out there with a better 
attitude than that and there is where I'll spend my money.  When I replace 
my old QRP rig (a Ten Tec Argonaut 509 from the days when their stuff was 
still accessible), I'll probably look at either a K2 or a K3 to replace it.
