If you have the chance to build you're own Radio, What would you call it, What kind of feature's would it have...And what kind of assessories would it have..And how many funtions.
This should be interesting....
Take heed Master Copper this may be the Radio of the future....

Now if I owned a radio mfg company we would make a radio as good or better then the Linclon with a display similar to the Super Star 4900B with a switchable blue/green indigo lighting background. It would also have a starlight faceplate like the new Galaxy series. Such a radio is not an impossibility, and what a hot seller that would be. ;-)

1)CB leagal 40 ch am/ssb

2)ALL HAM BANDS all modes for 160 meters to 1300 mhz 500 watts all bands

3) LEAGAL for MURS, FRS, part 15 anywhere and GMRS

4) The receiver would be all mode user definded with 16 poles of filtering DSP and processer controled coverage would be from 1KHZ to 5 GHZ in 10 HZ steps. Fully computer programable and 1000 general coverage memories. The reciever would also do all trunking modes including digital and have 2000 memories for its scan/ trunking modes.

I would design a radio that has selective filtering to eliminate interference from:

1. Mexico and S. America
2. Channel 6 splatter
3. idiots
4. static

Furthermore, it would be much like Bruce's radio in that it would cover 0hz to ultraviolet, with a DSP that could emulate any mode or create a new one altogether then clone it off to another radio. Oh yeah, and Roger Beep.


Seriously? I'd be happy with something along the lines of a 706MkIIg or ft-100D that does full crossband duplex for satellites, has a digital modulation mode and DOESN'T NEED TO BE SENT BACK TO THE SHOP AFTER THREE DAYS. That stuff really peeves me. I get the impression the Big 3 radio makers have a higher lemon rate than Detroit.
