I agree with your thinking Mark, but likewise, why does General Motors manufacture Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, Olds, Buick... Not all are made in the same factory.
Cannot explain what I am not sure of...like I said...I have "heard"...I haven't "researched" just trying to give the guy a reason why Tower isn't in a desperate situation...if Tower is not the sole distributor of that particular radio, then my excuse is not valid...but if they were the sole distributor in the US (as they are with several popular hobby product lines) then my excuse is valid...
In the end, THERE IS NO EXCUSE!!!!!
