I know Ten Tec monitors this list.? As one of the few US manufacturers of ham
radio equipment, there is a market being overlooked.? 1.25 meters.
Japanese manufacturers aren't interested.? But VHF contesters are lacking in a
supply of equipment for this band.
A simple, relatively inexpensive self contained SSB/CW transceiver running
maybe 10 watts if the price were in line with the single band units from MFJ
would fill a niche market that has no competition at present.
A cheaper than Elecraft transverter (not everyone neds a high end x-verter for
this band) could also be a winner.
American built quality.? Competitive prices.? I bet a lot of VHF/UHF contesters
would come out of the wood work and buy one.
