[Elecraft] KX2 Satellite Derivative? (Was: Re: The KX2)

[Edward R Cole]

There are about 1500-2000 hams active on 2m-eme worldwide; probably 
another 1000 on other bands on eme.
VHF+ is huge in EU with contests every month and literally hundreds 
of stations working on 10-GHz in the UK and EU.
2m is the most used IF for mw.

On VHF and UHF up to 1296 there are probably five times as many 
active hams as in the US.  A radio as I described would be well 
received by this segment of ham radio.

Would 1,000 ordered the first month be adequate?

PS: you would be surprised how many KX3 are in use as IF for VHF and 
higher bands.  KX2 will probably see some of this use as well.

Ed, re "Who will build it?": It seems the market
must be large enough to justify the investment. I
wonder if it really is?
