I realize this is a dumb question,but since I am such a dummy
anyway.Look how the prices of computers have come down,look at the
motherboards and stuff inside your computer.There are a jillion
electronic parts in there.Why,you can buy a brand new shiny as a new
born baby's arse computer nowdays for less than $300.00,peanuts compared
to what computers used to cost,and that computer will outshine any
computers of yore,and the price is dirt cheap too considering all things
bright and beautifull.
Why do those AOR and similar radios continue to be priced so high?

Limited market in which to recover R & D and manufacturing costs.
