Why would Ten-Tec have to "come clean" about these capacitors. They got shafted as did
many other manufacturers. You make "using the lowest bidder" sound like it is a crime.
It may not be a crime, but it's dumb. Successful manufacturing includes
careful sourcing of components and maintaining QC of both incoming
components and outgoing products. ALL consumer products, including ham
gear, must sell at a price that the buyer can afford. That means
reasonable compromises between component quality and cost. The use of
military quality components could easily raise the cost of gear by a
factor of 10X or more. How many hams are willing (or able) to pay
$10-40K for a 100W transceiver?
BTW, in case we wish to make use of you "buying and selling business" what is
your call sign?
Yes. I want to see callsigns in all posts to ham reflectors.
