I believe that the SDR's are really great radio's, and I have been using my
SDR1000 from day one. I disposed of other rigs, e.g., FT1000MP IV field, TS780,

Hi Alberto,
Actually the lower performance A/D's (and maybe a lower performance
mixer) are to create a continued market for 5Ks.
Obviously there are price points for new boxes at about $800-$900, $1500
- $2500+ and $4500+ In an old style rig how much of the
circuitry/performance is different a
A $500 - $750 appliance radio? Didn't Ten-Tec already do that? It was
called the Pegasus. Not a bad radio, I'm told for the price. But
Ten-Tec dropped it in favor of the Jupiter which had knobs, but could be
run in the "Pegasus" mode from a computer.
And before Ten-Tec came out with the Pegasu

Well, maybe there will be other ways to reduce the manufacturing costs, but

Hi Dave,
I agree. Not producing a (perhaps loss leader) $500-$750 appliance radio
to go with the "luxury" 5K is a missed opportunity. My guess is that a
low end radio appliance radio could be produced just by putting lower
