But, I see your point, there is much more of a market in most any other area of communications, marine communications alone would be a larger market share... police/ambulance/fire radios probably are a larger share!!! Aircraft radios? But, it would be better to market to gov't, industry, military, public service, etc... your point is well taken... Right... and this design approach might or might not be attractive to them, given their specific needs. You wrote earlier today of the new generation of youngsters, with access to better equipment, at today's colleges. That might be a good next place for you to consider floating this idea... you might find an EE professor who would consider it to be an attractive design project for a graduate-level (or high-undergrad) class in RF and electronic design. While you're there, you might also want to see if you could persuade somebody in the business school tackle the other aspects of such a venture... a market analysis, and a business-case justification. For any such design to fly, it's going to have to make both technical sense, and economic sense... as defined by the people you expect to have buy/use it. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Hosting the Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |
