Hi Walt,

Interesting.  In fact, we have just got used to ham radio equipment 
getting less expensive.

Relative to average wages, think about the old gear such as collins, 
kw e.t.c.

My ts-950sdx was getting close on £3,000 when I got it when they 
first came out.  Taking inflation in to account, I suppose the ic7800 
is about the same.

Just more budget rigs around now.
