Decades have brought us moon landing, mars landings,masers, lasers, lets,
fets, mosfets, computers, etc...

But the shape of radio equip. has remained virtually stagnant.

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

I sure seem to hear that a lot.

Some *other* lazy bum oughtta get off his duff and do it.

Why don't you do it? If the problem is that you don't have the technical
know-how, well, how do you think those people who have it, got it? By
being lazy?

Typing a few sentences and hitting Send sure is easier than studying,
isn't it?

Perhaps it is because Roy is, like your's truly, getting a bit tired
of seeing "John Smith's" conversations with himself. I don't use any
software filters on my newsreader but I've sure engaged a mental
filter.

Well, I just hope you are not getting to the point of contemplating
"Un-American Activities", you still support free speech--don't you?

Warmest regards,
John

You might want to check out the idea of filtering. Cleans up the
newsgroups right fine.

I use Free Agent. It doesn't do filtering, but as I said, I turn on my
mental filter that says, "When you see a post by 'John Smith'", ignore
it. I used the same filter for "Fractenna." Works fine.

Considering what has gone before, it's unduly tame.

I do tend to be that way. And because of the couple of negative comments
about my posting I've thought it over a fair amount to see if, on
reflection, I think it was out of line.

But I don't think so, unless I mininterpreted what "John Smith" said.
What he seemed to be saying is that he has this great idea, and the only
reason it's not being impelemented is that *the other people* are too
lazy to do it.

As one of the "other people", I find it kind of insulting. Do you really
think his is a valid point of view, that everyone else should jump up
and implement his great idea, while this anonymous person's job is to
tell us what we should do?

I really do think that a caustic comment was appropriate.
