Well, I have had my one and only Ten Tec HF rig (an OMNI VI "enhanced") for
a
little over 5 years now. For the 31 years prior to that I had dozens of
rigs
both US and Asian made. I continue to test and evaluate almost every new
offering and have concluded that there is NO rig currently on the Amateur
Radio market that I would replace my OMNI VI with at any price. There are,
however, some rigs I would like to supplement the OMNI with, but they are
all
tube rigs and have been out of production for 25 to 30 years!
As for Harleys, yes they DID have a bad reputation during the years they
were
owned by AMF (the bowling alley people), but since the management buyout of
HD in the early 80's there products have been top rate and highly sought
after by enthusiasts all over the world (Austria has more HD owners per
capita than anywhere else). And there a 2+ year waiting list to get a new
one, and used ones command very high prices... like Ten Tec rigs.

I have never had another station tell me that My Kenwood, or Icom
sounded great. There was never any discussion much about that item.
Until I got a Ten Tec that is. About every third or fourth contact
comments on it. Oh well! My last Harley only had 286,000 miles on it
when I sold it. It had been in a shop once though, when it was still in
warranty. A young fellow bought it to ride cause it was so dependable!
I think most American companies still build good stuff. Like the company I
work for! Their equipment goes on almost every commercial plane flying,
and on plenty of military aircraft also. Live on TT, HD, and S. well some
would think it was commercializing if added that last name
