[TenTec] The Eagle

[Pumbaa]

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.
