GLad you found an address Buddy, as my email to them with the address
you provided some months back bounced.

IF I recall my comments correctly I said that I'd sure rather buy made
in the U.S.

i've liked the TEn'tec radios I've seen from past models and was
hoping to see an alternative with their newer product offerings to
Made in Japan.  My family ahs a history of supporting American
workers, my father aws a teamsters' union business agent for a local,
my grandfather a union carpenter.  I"m a union musician and will
support made in the U.S>A. when I can get the products and features I
need, in fact, will pay a little higher price or give up features that
aren't in prime import to me if I can buy American.


I'm also a very active ham radio operator, giving up to 12 hours a
week to public service activities on the hf bands.  Usability of a
transceiver is of paramount importance to me.

Also consider that many in the ham population are aging, and as their
sight deteriorates they will find that features that enhance usability
for the blind community also work to their benefit.

THanks for taking the time to read this email.
