(Araucaria) Fwd: Fwd: Alpha Amplifiers and TEN-TEC Merge

Segunda Maio 12 13:32:28 BRT 2014

Ola Ivan,

A Ten-Tec tem um business rentável na área de gabinetes, moldes e afins. Os
produtos de telecomunicação (radioamador ou não) são bem mais variados.
A "ancora" onde a Alpha se encostou é de melhor qualidade e quem sabe leve
os "Alphinos retrôs" a conhecerem os Power Mosfet e avançarem onde já
deveriam ter avançado: área do estado sólido.
Infelizmente a Alpha se tornou uma companhia péssima e distante da ponta da
tecnologia.

Vamos ver como  será esta "venture" . O primeiro sinal de luz no final do
túnel, na minha opinião, é aparecer o anuncio de uma amplificador em estado
solido. O sinal de uma bancarrota total é a Ten-Tec anunciar um transceptor
valvulado com step motors na sintonia !

>>> 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

>>> 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,

>>>
>>> "The merger of these brands under the RF Concepts banner makes perfect
>>> sense," added Seedman, "not only in terms of creating a powerful product

>>> 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

>>> 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.
