Announcing the Merger of Alpha Amplifiers & Tentec

Alpha Amplifiers and TEN-TEC Merge Under RF Concepts Banner

LONGMONT, Colo.- May 9, 2014 - Announcing today the merger of Longmont,
Colorado -based RF Concepts LLC / Alpha Amplifiers and Sevierville,
Tenn.-based TEN-TEC Inc., RF Concepts Chairman Michael Seedman, AA6DY,
declared the union the perfect combination of amateur radio brands. The
merger creates a multi-million-dollar company with products that span QRP
transceivers to full-legal-limit amplifiers and establishes an organization
with the size and scale to continue to innovate into the next decade and
beyond.

RF Concepts/Alpha Amplifiers has been building amplifiers continuously
since the early 1970s and has put more than 13,000 amplifiers in the hands
of demanding amateur radio operators. Alpha Amplifiers are considered "the
finest line of linear amplifiers in the world" by the ham community.
TEN-TEC, founded in 1968, produces top-of-the-line receivers, transceivers,
amplifiers and tuners and is known worldwide for the reliability and
performance of its products.

"For more than 40 years, Alpha Amplifiers and TEN-TEC have shared a
reputation in the amateur radio market for offering exceptionally
well-engineered, American-made products backed by extraordinary customer
service," said Seedman. "Alpha Amplifiers is known for 'key down
performance,' and TEN-TEC is known for pushing the boundaries of
transceiver performance and capabilities.

"The merger of these brands under the RF Concepts banner makes perfect
sense," added Seedman, "not only in terms of creating a powerful product
line, but also in terms of positioning our company for the future. This
merger more than doubles the size of our business allowing us to invest
more capital in innovative engineering and customer-driven product
development."

RF Concepts' operations will now be shared between its Longmont Colorado
facility and its Sevierville Tennessee facility. The company is currently
seeking a new operations facility in the Sevierville area to more
efficiently house factory operations, part of the engineering resources,
and technical and customer support services. The Colorado facility will
house engineering resources, technical and customer support services, and
much of the front-office operations.

Both Jim Wharton, NO4A, who in January of this year took the reins of
TEN-TEC upon the retirement of founder Jack Burchfield, K4JU and Ken Long,
N0QO, who has been overseeing the operations at Alpha Amplifiers will be
Presidents of their respective group, working together to build a strong,
innovative company.

"Ken and I have spent quite a bit of time discussing our short- and
long-term focus over the last few weeks and I feel our responsibilities are
very clearly defined.", said Wharton.

"Jim and I have a lot of work to do to make sure the merging of these two
brands goes as smoothly as possible." added Long.

The merger announcement comes just days before one of the signature amateur
radio events in North America-the Dayton (Ohio) Hamvention-where more than
75,000 hams are expected to converge on the Hara Arena Complex to discover
the latest innovations in amateur radio. Both Alpha Amplifiers and TEN-TEC
will operate separate booths at this years show (May 16 - 18). Both booths
will feature new products and special offers to commemorate the merger. At
booths 209-210 in the North Hall, Alpha Amplifiers will be demonstrating
the soon-to-be released DreamTuner 4040 Automatic Antenna Tuner, a
graphically based, 4KW Autotuner. At booths 458-450 in the East Hall,
TEN-TEC will unveil the Patriot, an open source, arduino-based SSB
transceiver.

ME TOO!!!

We have the TenTec 425, (Titan I), Titan II, and Titan III at PJ2T and we 
can't keep them working for one contest at a time.  The Titan II is gone - 
we sold it for parts.  The 425 works just don't touch the bandswitch.  And 
the Titan III is a repair project every trip there.  Our box of 
replacement parts is bigger than the amp!!!

Now they will take that design philosophy and apply it to the Alpha.

This smells like another MFJ/Ameritron/HyGain/Cushcraft "alignment".

Buy American???  Hmmmmmm...

Now if Elecraft would build a K4 the size of the Omni VI...
