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.

Tsk. Kluges are still kluges.

You should call it "modern radio art" and thereby rationalize that
you are "advancing the state of the radio art!" :-)

Riiiiiight...by making "modern" radio designs using tubes in the
1990s...:-)

I find that most of the "modern ready-built" radio sets are very unattractive.

...just like all the other radio amateurs? :-)

Why are the designer-manufacturers continuing (after years of doing
so) to design such "unattractive" exteriors? Is it all a conspiracy
against the superior esthetic sense of Jimmie?

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?

Kluges are still kluges. :-)

Decals for radio markings have been around for a half century...are
clearer to read that scribbled felt-tip marker pen markings. But, if
those are "beauty" to you, feel free to enjoy it. Try NOT to impose
your "standards of beauty" (radio-wise) on others.

Jim's radio did just that.

And much more.

Kluges are still kluges.

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!

"Nothing wrong?" Tsk. That's a hypocritical statement in here!

WE do what we do for FUN!

Also service to our country.

BWAHAHAHAHAAHHHAAAAA....!!!!

Engaging in a part-time HOBBY is a "service to the country?"

Jimmie must have a Visa to be a tourist in nursieworld.

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...

It was easy to "miss." It never existed. :-)

Nursie went off the deep end without his little water wings again.

Tsk. You name-callers ought to look in MSN. :-)

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

Whatever

I am very pleased with my career choice...interesting, challenging
work doing many things over the last half century in radio and
electronics. Am still involved, though not in "regular hours." :-)

Do you need a resume? A little precis of my places of employment?
I've given that in here before...but that only caused nursie to go off
into some strange orbit and get very angry. I realize that it is a
"felonious" act to irritate another PCTA extra in here so I don't
volunteer such information except on request. We can't irritate the
ultra-thin-skinned mighty macho morsemen in this newsgrope. :-)
