We fully understand that to be accepted it \nneeds to be as cheap as possible. We are designing the ground widgets \nbecause they will need to have very small implementation losses to work \nright and the system needs to work as a system from feed to computer. \nBut you are an SSB user so you can ignore the digital widget and operate \nMode B.\n\nAs a person who has been a ham radio operator for over 40 years, and an \nAMSAT technical contributor since 27 years ago, people do not get rich \nquick on amateur radio. They can make a few bucks, but they will kill \nthemselves trying to do a really breakout product. I <<DID>> design a \nkiller product for AEA. I lost my shirt. If you want to make money on \nwhat you have learned in amateur radio, you sell it outside of amateur \nradio. Amateurs, outside of buying the big rig, are the absolutely \ncheapest bums in existence. They would make my Scotch ancestors look \nlike spendthrifts.\n\nBob\nN4HY\n\n\nEric H.
