During my last trip to JA land, I sat next to the North America Sales Manager
for the Kenwood line of commercial radios, not amateur radios. He stated
that they are in the amateur radio business for the long haul, as amateur
radio is the major line for them, and further that they find the amateurs
demand the newest technical features and drive the new stuff that carries
over to their other lines. His info was from the guy who is the North
America Sales Manager for the amateur radio line-who is a personal friend of
his. BTW, the commercial products sales manager is a ham (2 meter type) and
is familiar with the product plans for their amateur radio line. So
hopefully Kenwood is solid as an amateur radio supplier.

---------------------------------------------
Actually, a person doesn't have to be CONNECTED to the local packet cluster to
"use" it. One can set their TNC to monitor un-connected packets sent to other
stations and get all the DX spots that way and no one would ever be the wiser.
It's a problem, no doubt about it.
