It's more reasonable to compare similar items, such as electronics. My HW-16 cost about 1/100 of what a 1970 personal computer (PDP-8) cost, so I should be able to buy a basic transceiver today for about $10. >A 30S-1 cost about 1/3 >of what the Corvette cost, so I should be able to buy a new amplifier today >for about $17,000. An SB-200 cost about 3/100 of what the PDP-8 cost, so I should be able to buy a new QRO amp today for about $30. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
