One "innovation" would be to just copy what the IBM clone has taught us. Build a radio of "cards." Just like the computer, a standard case which you can plugin various power supplies, frontend board "cards", intermediate board "cards", buffer amp board "cards", IF board "cards", audio board "cards", xmitter board "cards", final amp board "cards", etc.... I think you get the pic One radio case can/could virtually be any radio you can imagine.... new design in a frontend? Plug in a new front end "card", new audio offering? Plug in a new audio board "card." Someone really should get off a dead duff somewhere and DO IT!!!! Kinda makes ya wonder why not? Doesn't it? Warmest regards, John They aren't all that, but do you remember the Atlas 180 or 10 radios? Buck -- For what it's worth. |
