[Elecraft] The Technician Ten Radio

[Merv Schweigert]

Its what they sell and call a CB radio.    Buy one for a couple bucks,  
a few
modifications and bingo your set.   Quits working toss it in the trash.
And if you dont do mods you dont even need a license..

>   Covers 28.3 - 28.5 MHz USB.
>
>   Audio quality that will appeal to an FM user.
>
>   Enough power to make QSOs easily.
>
>   Inexpensive enough to buy on impulse.
>
>   Simple to use UI.

> Supporting FM repeater use on some of 6M, 2M, and 70cm might expand 
> sales in the target market enough to be justified. A mobil operations 
> story would make it useful for car-to-car operation during low sunspot 
> times. Availability as a no-solder kit could cut costs, increase pride 
> of ownership, and aid word-of-mouth sales.
>
> Other features like CW operation, split operation, etc. should only be 
> included if they significantly expand the market and can be introduced 
> without undue UI complications.
