This PT-8000 must have cost Hilberling a few million euro at least. Three
stands at the big Friedrichshafen show (I am sure they were there in 2006),
development and salaries and... I am sure Hilberling's company can afford
this, it has a very high reputation and he holds some very fine patents.
I was always skeptical as the price was so very high - 11,990 euro for a
100W single RX radio (no panoramic display) is a lot, even if it does come
with a nice microphone. I see all docs have been pulled from the website,
fortunately I made copies which I will keep.
For those who never saw the beast look at
http://gallery.ham-radio.ch/main.php?g2_itemId=15914&g2_page=2 specifically
images 0513 to 0520.
Real engineers deliver products, the rest end up working in McDonalds.

That's a different problem. The design wasn't reproducible and could not
be rescued by production engineering.
