I wonder if we as a NG might put together a design
for an HF rig that could be built with ease by novices
and experienced constructors alike?

Elecraft already do a range of these

http://www.elecraft.com/

Good but expensive, aren't they?

Not for what you get.

It would be great to see the people on this group design one here. It
would be invaluable info for those interested in furthering their
knowlege of the hobby and maybe the end product could equal or exceed
the Elecraft specs at a lower price?

You can see what you're up against quite easily by downloading the Elecraft
manuals from their website.

I had a look at the elecraft site and it looks like the
typical Yankland commercial rip-off - by the time you've
added all the "options" you haven't got anything worthwhile
for a decent price..

So, ignoring the obvious plugs for "elecrap" how's about
designing a rig within the NG that would provide the facilities
that a newcomer and OM alike need, and which one might
build oneself?

You had my offer of help both on this newsgroup and by email.

Offer still stands until 23:59 21/4/03.
