Hi Paul,
The amp section is 25 cents/watt per APT -- $250
The power supply will run about $100 in parts.
The Pi-nets might run a couple hundred in today's
depreciated dollars.
The cabinet, heatsink(s) and fans could easily run a
couple hundred $$.
The DSP is only about $25 in parts.
The above totals about $750. Add $250 for labor &
overhead...
Engineering costs? Isn't that what the H1-B visas
are all about? :-)
73 & Good afternoon,
Marv WC6W
