**Your statement here has nothing to do with having a repeatable
design.**


Are you going to pull a Clinton and redefine "repeatable"?


Reliable -- In case you haven't been paying attention, the fundamental
concept of the design is longevity. These amps are going to be around
and working long after you and your amps are dead and buried.
**This is all talk right now. The fact that you will be using
components such as connectors for board-to-board interfacing does not
lend itself to high reliability.**


I didn't suspect you were tnom but you just gave yourself away.
Regardless, have you looked inside your computer lately? Did you
notice all those 'unreliable' connectors? When was the last time you
opened up a piece of electronic equipment with a major brand name like
HP? Kenwood? GE? Motorola? Uniden? Do you really think that CONNECTORS
are an issue? Naw..... you are just looking for a reason to whine.


Profitable -- I have saved the best for last. The -best- thing about a
modular design is that it is perfectly LEGAL!!!. I can manufacture and
market the chassis and modules independently under the premise that no
component, in and of itself, constitutes an amplifier. The only way
the government can touch this is if they outlaw every aspect of hobby
electronics and the sale of each and every component, which we all
know isn't going to happen (unless Bush declares a national emergency
right after the 2008 election, refuses to give up his office, and
installs a Republican dictatorship). There isn't one business-person
on the planet that wouldn't invest in a business that can open up an
entire market that was previously illegal. That, my friend, is called
"profitable".
**Again, nothing but talk and very premature... you have no design yet
to base any profitability claims.**


On the contrary..... I have a technical concept and it is legally
protected for 364 more days. I have business plan with high potential
profits, as well as a research project for my Master's degree. I also
have many years of experience running my own business and a very solid
background in electronic engineering, mostly in the RF field. So you
can believe me when I say that this amp is going to be built -and-
marketed, either by me or someone else. Not only that, but it may also
subjugate the statutory authority of the FCC, should they choose to
pursue it.

You, OTOH, have a run-of-the-mill CB amplifier that you can't legally
produce or protect. The quality of your product sucks; if it was good
it would sell itself and you wouldn't be spamming the newsgroup. You
can't even afford decent advertising, let alone an attorney to advise
you that this is an illegal and potentially expensive business venture
which may result in a felony conviction. You have nothing and are
risking everything, including your right to vote. Yet YOU are trying
to lecture ME about "profitability"? ROTFLMMFAO!!!!!


So go suck an egg, Brian (or tnom, or whatever alternative personality
you are using when you read this).
