========== If some manufacturer thought this was a good idea, I suppose they could do some market research. One data point would be to survey how many KX3 owners have rigged theirs up with a whip and made it into a porta-station -- not many, I suspect. There may be some HF operators who would like such a thing, but the majority of licensees are Technicians, who have had such a gadget for more than 40 years. And by the way, the HT did revolutionize ham radio, in a certain sense. As an HF operator, my preference is to have an efficient enough antenna to make contacts easy and solid, rather than to be able to cart it all around in one piece, or strap it to my belt.
