In response to "Dee Flint" :
The economy of scale situation in ham radio today is mail order/
internet sales, plus hamfest/conventions. because they're the most
competitive for most things. Some manufacturers sell don't sell
through dealers at all - Ten Tec and Elecraft are two examples.
Don't confuse lack of customers with economy of scale. Those little
guys can't compete with the big boys any better than the local shops
can compete with Wal-Mart.
The little guys can and do compete. They do it by offering service that
the big boys don't and by offering items that the big boys don't carry.
What you mean is that they can't compete on price alone.
