My goal with this radio is to offer a radio that will introduce
new technician operators to non-line-of-sight operation. The
basic requirements are:
Covers 28.3 - 28.5 MHz USB.
Audio quality that will appeal to an FM user.
Enough power to make QSOs easily.
Inexpensive enough to buy on impulse.
Simple to use UI.
Supporting FM repeater use on some of 6M, 2M, and 70cm might
expand sales in the target market enough to be justified. A
mobil operations story would make it useful for car-to-car
operation during low sunspot times. Availability as a no-solder
kit could cut costs, increase pride of ownership, and aid
word-of-mouth sales.
Other features like CW operation, split operation, etc. should
only be included if they significantly expand the market and can
be introduced without undue UI complications.
Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
