[Elecraft] Would anyone like to see an all-mode VHF/UHF offering from Elecraft?

[David Gilbert]

Spending development effort, time, and money on a product for a limited 
or highly competitive market doesn't keep any company financially 
sound.  It does just the opposite.  I'm not saying whether a very 
portable all-mode VHF/UHF rig falls into that category or not, but I'll 
bet it's a decision that Elecraft has already made one way or the other.
