You gotta wonder, with the accelerating vacation of HF by
broadcasters, the stagnation in the development of DRM, the ongoing war
on the radio hobby by HOA's and local government, and the gathering
threat of BPL making some spectra difficult if not impossible to use,
just who is this rig targeting?

My ham catalogs show a good amount of HF marine gear; I'd imagine
ships at sea would want this kind of radio, as well as shoreline
monitoring stations.

Not to mention spying operations, eavesdropping on n'ar-do-wells using
easily obtainable ham-type transceivers.

And for the kind of money asked for premium rigs by Ten-Tec, ICOM, AOR
and now JRC, what do they know that we don't? What's coming?


On the other hand, it's nice to know that someone is still interested
in building a receiver based on performance, rather than buzzword features.
