Morning Steve. you know i'm following this closely.
Richard tells me the major trouble, as with any new
receiver, etc., coming out now is parts and supplies.
company's come and go. design with supplies today,
may dry up next week.
That was the problem with the highly touted Sat 900. The chip upon
which the set was designed dried up before the prototypes were built.
Then Grundig took it's boning from Philips, and...well....
A lot of today's radios are becoming unserviceable because relatively
common chips are no longer in production, and substitutes are rare.
Design your radio around cellphone chips.
