A lot of people did not have their income increase some 285% from 1978 to
today. That is the problem as companies can't sell as many ham radio sets
as they do large LCD TV sets. HTs now seem very cheap especially a certain
brand made in China. If your income has equaled the inflation rate then
today's radios are probably cheaper than those of 1978,

This has been an interesting thread. It got me out of the shadows.
I haven't looked it up but in 1978 the triton was someplace around $700
stripped with no noise blanker or cw filters, analog version.
today that's about over two grand.
