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.
