Agree with Ron, a rig like that is never going to get made again. IMHO, if
an hf rig manufacturer isn't scrambling right now to design a direct
sampling rig, they're going to get left behind. The exception might be if
they already have an extraordinarily popular current radio, such as
Elecraft. I hate to say it but I think Ten-Tec is in a very precarious
position. Another option is to somehow buy the direct sampling technology
and not design the rig in-house but that has a slew of potential problems.
