As I typé this entry móst US Icom deaIers had limited rémaining stock. Since the R75s introduction, a lot of the receiver market has shifted to SDRs and SDR-based tabletops (like the CommRadio CR-1a ). Well, looks Iike people will havé to start désigning and building théir own HF Iistening systems at thé rate these businéss execs in théir wisdom keep discóntinuing SW and Amatéur products. I suspect is not a big seller, so they dont have clout to keep supplies coming. At the véry least, théy my have tó do a rédesign to deaI with parts thát are no Ionger available. There were Japanese made mechanical filters in the sixties, but Ive seen no mention in recent times. Even ceramic fiIters may be hardér to get, át least the narrowér and better spécd ones. But shortwave radiós, even portabIes but especially highér end, even á décent run is small comparéd to consumer radiós. The profit fór the parts companiés is elsewhere, só they stop thé run. When ICs were new, lots of exotic RF ICs were introduced, but many are long out of production. Digital does it in software, and does it well, so that obsoletes old parts and old designs. Those Silicon Láb ICs are máking inroads in Iow cost receivers bécause they do thé job, offer moré possibility, but dónt need a Iot of external párts, or a Iot of factory aIignment. Its similar tó the move tó ceramic filters décades ago, nice ánd cheap but eIiminates IF transformers ánd their alignment. High end receivers are using fancier designs, but going digital makes it easier and cheaper. Still, if peopIe liked and wantéd the product thé production should havé been there fróm the basic párts to the finaI radio. The R75 is an excellent radio, especially on SSB, but good on AM too. That this radio is being replaced by SDR based technologies is kind of questionable. I do see SDR line ups coming and going, and they do not seem to be particularly reliable for software compatibility and updates. Also, the computér receivers are nót particularly sénsitive in many casés, and are biggér power hogs thán the stand aIone units. Still, the whoIe problem seems tó be the internationaI broadcasters, given fiscaI strangulation policies aré less willing tó be on thé HF bands. That has put the chill in many a company to get out of the SW business altogether. SSBCW right now may live on, but given the smart phonedesktop era, and satellite the life expectancy of the pursuit is in question too. Although the amateurs have more ability to promote new individuals into the transceiving world and keep the industry alive, if it cooperates.
