So I think we should be happy that modern technology has eliminated the
need to build needed "accessories" to our main radios, which now include
such needed features (and many others ;-). We also don't have to build
from the ground up, since used gear offers a lower cost starting point to
building a station. On the other hand, many ham stations today are much
more complex than in the past. Most of us run HF and VHF/UHF, many do
multiple modes, including digital modes, and work specialty areas (like
ATV or satellites). Our focus is not on building a single radio
transmitter, rather we are focusing on expanding our radio station
capabilities in modes and bands and facilities (including emergency
power..).

I'm sure you're right. But AFAIC, I prefer doing things from the
ground up. That way, you learn a hell of a lot more. I'll stick with
my discretes and continue to make 'em work at RF., for all hassle,
they make life infuriating but *so* much more challenging. Perhaps I
should get a better psychiatrist. :-)
