[amsat-bb] TS-2000 out of production??

[Ted Krempa]

Nope. I was watching on line and missed the clue. I was ready to by another (new) unit. Called the Anaheim store to ask about their remaining demo and the guy said it has been a demo for 10 years...I passed on that one. There are a few new ones out there (DXEnginnerring, HamCity, etc.) but they want 1300-1500+, which is absurd.

Ted,

Did Ham Radio Outlet report that there was a rush on remaining
inventory when the end of production was announced?
