Or, on the cheap side of the coin, "recycled" parts using mainly
technology that is 50 to 40 years old (K4YZ homepage).

What fault do you find with that and why doesn't any of it appear of
K4YZ's homepage?

Len is confused. He cannot deal with the fact that K4YZ and N2EY are not the
same person.

There's a whole lot that he is confused about.

For example, he keeps trying to confuse Amateur Radio with PLMRS, GMRS,
Armed Forces Communications, CB, etc etc etc.

I think Len would be very happy if Amateur Radio became just like cb.

Nothing in the Southgate Type 7 is "cheap". The parts used were very
inexpensive, but of high quality.

Geez,
absolutely zilch time spent in trying to make any of it attractive.

Wrong again!

A lot of time and effort were spent making it attractive to the intended
market. No time or effort was spent making it attractive to Len.

Of course...the Supreme Engineer forgot that the purpose of the project
was to provide a functional device.

Ya missed the point.

"Attractiveness" is in the eye of the beholder. Look at how clothing designs
have changed over the years.

I find that most of the "modern ready-built" radio sets are very unattractive.
Cluttered front panels, poor color choices, knobs and displays way too small
and too close together, etc., etc. So I purposely avoid such design in my
projects. If the set is a little bigger because of it - so what?

Jim's radio did just that.

And much more.

Mission accomplished.

Not the stuff of "marketable design!"

That'd be a real problem if it was built to be a marketable design.

The intended market thinks it's an excellent design and of high quality
manufacture.

We forget Lennie's only reason for being a "radio
professional"...profit.

Nothing wrong with that!

WE do what we do for FUN!

Also service to our country.

Lennie's NOT a "fun" person.

I'm sure some people think he's fun.

Collins Radios, back when tubes were king, were REAL boat-
anchors...and performed very well although their specifications
were not great in sensitivity nor in IMD.

Lab tests prove differently - particularly for a meatball 75S3C. See the
Sherwood Engineering receiver comparison chart.

What amateur radio HF receivers, transmitters and/or transceivers has Len
designed and built on his own time, with his own resources?

Where is Len's home page?

The whole world wonders....

Lennie once HAD an AOL page...No pictures or even a remote mention of
radios, but he did make allusion to fantasizing about being the old man that
Ruth Buzzy (the comedienne) used to pelt with her purse on the park bench on
the old :Laugh In" series.

I missed that...

Some imagination, eh? Musta be reeeeeeeeal proud of that "radio
professional" background.

Whatever
