Default What happened to the SkyWave?

The components were very expensive for that amplifier... we used
nothing but premium electrical and chassis components... to say
nothing of the finest grade FR4 pc board material. That stuff doesn't
come cheap! That amplifier was also very labor intensive to build.
Just wasn't worth all the trouble to offer a unit of that high
quality.

I believe that. But if it was cracked up t the specs, you should have been able
to sell them. Can you sell the plans?

The point is that you can't sell them at a price that would be
worthwhile. I know that only too well...

Then why start in the first place? You post your 'inventions' on this
board and then back away. Buyer beware...

So you won't back your product any more? No customer service?

What's the person that actually bought the amp suppose to do when it
goes bad? This assumes that your buddy Gunsmoke bought one.

Companies always offer products with the vision of making a good
profit. Sometimes, due to changes in costs... the profit margin is
negatively impacted. This is covered in business 101... lol

***************

Even in small quantities, 10 boards, you can get a PCB of 40 square
inches in the $16 per board range. That is 2 layer FR4 0.062 thick.
That includes silkscreen and solder mask. That is with 5 day delivery.
10 day delivery will be about $2 per board less. IF you do about 5000
boars you should be around $6 per board. You can have a Chinese house
do it for about $4 per board in 5K quantity .
