But it does raise one question, and that is, who is fooling who about
its purchase price of ooo ?450, for there cannot be more than about ?40
in its component costs?

DDS modules, ?8 ea

SA612 ?2 ea

PIC processor, anything from ?2 to ?20 ea.

Double-sided PCB for ugly-bug construction, ?5

Ally die cast box ?15

SMA sockets ?3 ea

Handful of capacitors, peanuts.

Software, any self-respecting radio amateur will write his own, anyway.

Considering that it is homebrewers that would be using such kit, there
must be some out there with more money than sense?

So why aren't you building and selling them yourself at a cut-rate
price?



Gareth never actually produces anything, unless you count hot air.

Don't forget shame and humiliation, he produces both of those by the lorry
load.
