It's sad when it's all about the money

I have mixed feelings. The overseas folks seem to be very proud of 'em and any time I come across photos/ vids of 'em in Europe or other places, they seem to have found a very good home. This has been going on for a very long time with all sorts of stuff. 10--15 years ago the Japanese were buying up US amateur radio gear -- Collins, Drake, etc and other than Ten-Tec which is "sorta" made here in the states, you can't BUY any US built stuff anymore.
