The problem is nobody is going to want to pay the price for the effort
involved in putting the kit together.

They want $149 for a transistor TRF radio. What do you suppose a Ham
transceiver is going to cost? Even something as simple as the Ten Tec
Century 21 25 watt CW transceiver, much less something like the HW-101.

I vaguely remember paying $375 (I think) for my HW-101 new in 1975.
That's about $1600 in "now" money.

I wish them luck. They're going to need it.
