Gary,
The technology has out run many, including the manufactures. Even in the
pickup truck setting in the garage has many computers in it just to make it
run.. I think that most today have at least 5 computer systems running at
all times. Many of the parts that have been used in the past are not
available any longer and I am not sure that you can build a "new" radio
today without some sort of computer or some computer logic built
in.. But on the other hand, most of us have not only one, but several
computers setting around us not being utilized to their fullest. There
is one group that is currently building a 40 meter receiver that cost less
than $40, but is connected to your computer to run.
Besides, I don't think that most would like to pay the price to have a
Corsair, OMNI D built in today's world. The cost to manufacture these
today would be several thousand dollars.
