[Elecraft] DSP vs. non-DSP portable transceivers

[Ignacy]

To put it mildly, with progress in computing, the implementation in DSP is
easier, smaller, cheaper and mostly better. Programming is expensive. 

Same with tube and SS amplifiers. Most likely, hardware-wise SS is easier,
cheaper and mostly better. Initial design and programming are expensive.   

Average age of ham radios is around 65 (QST). Old "truths" die slowly.
