One of the reasons the Hilberling is so expensive is because it is analog.
HONESTLY: if it costs more than $2500, how many people here would still buy
it?
As much as I would enjoy it, I would not spend that much money on it.
When I moved from the states back to Germany, I forgot to take my money-tree
with me.

I think there's been some very valid points made in this discussion. Either
go head-to-head with price/performance of the SDR competition, or offer a
very high-end analog rig and promote it as such. Ten Tec could offer a
Hilberling-like transceiver at a fraction of the cost and easily do it with
better performance.
I would leverage circuitry from the KK7B and Tayloe designs. Include a 2nd
Rx port for multiple purpose use including phase nulling of noise sources as
an alternative to ineffective DSP noise blankers that all-too-often add
artifacts to reception. AC2IQ has developed a highly effective analog
linearizer. Include that too with with an external amplifier loop.

2 that I bought that I really believe that it was the prototype .im not
kidding!!! And what a fine sounding radio she is quite and smooth to listen
to .i want a new corsair 2 with 500 hz to 30 MHz coverage with 2 vfos
transmit eq and a nice big external speaker for $999 automatic cw id and a
big readout and bigger S meter like my OMNI 5 and all the RX filters too.
Ten etc. will sell a million of them design and supported in the USA built
in China
