Yes, they are.  I believe they got bought out and HQ is in Colorado but
their factory in Sevierville is still going and if you are local and buy a
radio from them, you can pick it up right at the factory.

I would love to find a Ten-Tec Scout with all of the freqency modules to use
as a "out in the sticks" rig.  Once I can get Social Security and my 4WD
Pathfinder fixed, I fully intend on doing a lot more mountian topping and
SOTA/POTA activations.
