It's called PLANNING! Also, top notch engineering! Have you ever wondered how many of these ham radio companies, including the brands that do hugh volumes of commercial radio, actually have hams designing their radios? I remember when the guys at Drake, Hallicrafters, Collins, Hammerlund, Johnson, Heath and many others were ALL hams and their pictures were usually in the Christmas issue of all the ham mags. Aside from the founders of Icom and Yaesu, how many HAMS or even a call sign have you seen in an ad let alone backing their gear at a convention? Anyone who would go to a convention with their rig on the table in front of them, is putting their reputation and livelihood on the line and will surely get my respect and an order on the spot! Tnx for the soap box, Al - WA6VNN
