| I don't ever remember ordering a new rig from TenTec that was in stock. That 
includes two Paragon's, a PII, an Omni V,  three VI's and a Plus, a Jupiter, 
and an Orion. Or the Titan III that's on order now.  (Yes, I try other brands 
of radios about as frequently as I come back to Ten Tec!) 
I expect Ten Tec does the smart thing, and builds a batch of radios after 
they have orders in hand. The buyer gets a really new radio with all the latest 
mods that hasn't been exposed to salt air and then left to sit in a non 
environmentally controlled warehouse for months or years. That's a win win 
situation 
for both the factory and the consumer. 
But it entails a short wait for a quality product.
