Remember Jim, today's engineering staff (or should I say finance and marketing engineering staff) is not to worry about your cost of ownership. They are there to get the equipment sold at best profit margin possible and then obsoleted so that you will buy another. It's all about cash flow.
BTW I am not blaming the companies. Unfortunately, we do this to ourselves with the way we invest, shop and consume. 73 Ron WD8SBB --- On Sat, 1/28/12, Jim Shorney <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Jim Shorney <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Drakelist] TR7 ALC access when not using PS7 > To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Date: Saturday, January 28, 2012, 11:01 AM > On Sat, 28 Jan 2012 10:32:36 -0500 > (EST), K9sqg wrote: > > >Curious as to why the VOX and ALC come from the power > supply rather than the rig itself.
