[Elecraft] Look familiar? Elecraft vs Ten Tec

[David Gilbert]

Ahh ... you mean like your cellphone, DVD player, most of your 
television, much of your computer, and at least some of the components 
in your K3?

The country of origin of any product is not the issue ... the integrity 
and competency of the company that made it, the quality and reliability 
of the components they used, and the proximity and service policies of 
the company that sells it are.  As an example, I'd much more readily 
purchase an item manufactured in China and distributed by TenTec than I 
would any product made in the USA by MFJ.

Country bashing is myopic and mostly out of place in today's world.  If 
we're going to talk about product comparisons, let's at least try to 
keep the discussion relevant.
