But...the market is limited.  At some point, sales of the basic rigs 
will slow down (I suspect this point has already been reached). 
Elecraft can keep the money coming in by selling accessories for the 
basic rigs for a time.  This is actually 'better' than the basic kits, 
because it is always easier to make a sale to an existing customer, who 
doesn't need so much convincing about the value of the product.  But 
this market is even more limited, so ultimately thay will need to come 
out with a new product.
