[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] ESDR - new portable SDR HF transceiver

[Mitch Eaton]

This one already exists. Innovation seems to be done here while the
manufacturing is done elsewhere. Not great, but people shop at Walmart
because they can afford it. More stuff is sold. Think of how many KX3s are
not sold because people just can't afford it. This allows more people to
enjoy the technology.
And until the workers in China and South America unionize the American
companies that hire them will still exploit them to make less expensive
products to increase their profits.
