Lee and Lee (on CW) You are missing the big picture. It is called a marketing model. Do you think that they don't want to be a significant market share?
Any industry (ham radio included) lives on a bell curve. It has the 10% on each end and the middle 80%. At the moment, they likely have not even dented the 80% of the middle. You want to be successful? You want your SDRxxxx to be around for another 20 years? Then get on the wave and drive it forward. Flex (as in all its employees) wants this. Do you want MFJ to buy this company in 5 years? No. You want Flex to buy MFJ in 5 years! (I know how it works, as I managed a Canadian Ham radio store from 1991 to 1997 that did over $4M annual sales--I also know what is happening now with Ham radio as my friend now owns the largest Ham radio store in Canada, and to quote him, thank god for GPS or he would be out of business).
