[Elecraft] Future elecraft projects

Sat Aug 30 10:29:00 2003

The problem with the Heathkits was not Heathkit. Japan started to mass
produce transceivers with printed circuit boards and made manufacturing
faster, easier, and more economical. If that didnt happen you may very well
see the drakes, heathkits, collins, etc still making rigs today.
     It is nice to see American design and incorporation into a kit form
such as what elecraft has done. And to think that little rigs receiver is
beating the pants off anything the other manuafacturers throw at it. Imagine
this rig having better stats than the ft1000 MV5!
