| What would you guys think of a new radio that had the following
characteristics:
Ø   SDR radio with knobs, similar size and form factor to the IC-7300
Ø  Superior receiver to the IC-7300; roughly on par with the Flex 6300
Ø  50w of output power
Ø  Cost: $1000
 
I guess the big question is, is 50w a show stopper.
 
Had someone ask me that question recently (obviously with the intent to
build this) and I had to pass.
I dunno.
For me I find it OK.
I usually run my Eagle at 60w and when driving my amp, it runs at 60w.
 
But my gut tells me most people won?t accept a 50w transmitter.
They are programmed to expect 100w.
 
What do you guys think?
