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.
