[Elecraft] New products

[Phil Wheeler]

Gee,

So far Elecraft has done a good job of providing 
new products with great support for which there is 
an ample mainstream market -- a good business 
model.  And focusing on products for which there 
is a good market is important.

Amateur radio video: How big would that market 
be?  Ditto for VHF/UHF exclusive transceiver, 
though that might go further than your video 
suggestion.

And I believe the 1.5 kW amp/tuner topic was 
discussed extensively and conclusively here at 
some time in the past 12 months.

Sure, new products are always welcome. But 
companies have failed by producing new products 
for which no market materializes. And, first and 
foremost, I want Elecraft to be around for another 
17 years!

73, Phil W7OX

Surely the possibilities have not been exhausted. Touch screen GUI, VHF/UHF exclusive transceiver, 1.5 KW amp and tuner, new modes (is amateur radio video dead?). A great American company could be even greater by expanding it's product line with new things, not variations on the same thing.
