[Premium-Rx] TenTec RX331

[Craig S McCartney]

David,

Your receiver probably came from one of our (copycat) competitors, not
us.  Our network is still going strong ~300 HF channels at 25+
locations, worldwide.  One of the competitors was based in the US
Northeast...

That's a fair price; we paid Ten-Tec ~$2300 depending on the order
quantity.

	I wonder if mine came from your network.   It showed up
(actually
a bunch of them showed up out of which I bought one) at the MIT flea and
Hosstraders a few years ago and I was told these were used with a HF
email network for yachts... that had shut down.

	Price was pretty good - think I paid $550 or so... complete with
service manual...
