[Elecraft] Selling Synths

[Dauer, Edward]

Not necessarily.  The old radio had the old synth, which cost something.
The new radios have the new synth, which also cost something.  If the two
somethings are the same, the total costs of the old and new would be the
same.  But selling the new synth all by itself would still require
charging something.  That something would include amortization of
development costs.  So the new radios with the new synth could cost more,
less, or the same, depending on the relative costs of the old and new
components.
