Subsequent Events [Abstract]
13. Subsequent Events	On April 13, 2020, BK Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Company, received approval and funding pursuant to a promissory note evidencing an unsecured loan in the amount of approximately $2,196 (the “Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (or “PPP”). The PPP was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Company intended to use the Loan for qualifying expenses in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. At the time the Company applied for the Loan, it believed it qualified to receive the funds pursuant to the PPP. On April 23, 2020, the SBA, in consultation with the Department of Treasury, issued new guidance that created uncertainty regarding the qualification requirements for a PPP loan. On April 24, 2020, out of an abundance of caution, the Board determined to repay the Loan and the Company initiated repayment of the full amount of the Loan to the lender. On May 4, 2020, the Company implemented workforce reductions of approximately 18% to reduce costs and to better position the Company in an uncertain business environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company incurred approximately $221 in severance costs relating to these workforce reductions, which will be recognized in the second quarter of 2020 and will be paid over the next five months.
