They don't make DEI anymore but TS somehow still puts that in

Dei transistors are all gone now, thank god. I think texas star bought all the stock because they are the only ones still using that garbage in their products.
You may get some TS new old stock with some pill popper 100s in them. That means the pills pop in 100 or less keys
I imagine they have a drawer full of letters.
Cool. I can put the used v5000 in my attic on ebay. I knew it was a good investment.
I used Copper a lot in the past, never had any problems.
Yeah, I guess he probably meant DEIs, but who knows. One would think TS would just switch over to HGs at this point.
Copper pulled everything, though. Not just TS amps. Post above about a “drawer full” of letters is probably accurate. Very slim chance they have not been down this road before.
As with Google, Facebook and the rest cutting Deplorables.
Access Denied = being de-platformed.
Sure would hate you boys found a preacher on fire and a radio net used to spread His word. (And no amp).
Honesty still might have a chance. That’s not allowed.

DEI or as I coined them....Disappointing Electrical Ingenuity
The funny thing is, china is now the leader in electronics development and r&d. And believe it or not korea comes in a close second in the electronics industry. If this is fact i dont know, its something i read on an electronics development site.Now with that being said,you'd think these guys could make a simple high quality rf transistor like toshiba did. Pshhh, DEI, really?

They're the "leader" because they stole the technology but they suck because they never got all of it and had to fill in a lot of blanks.
I believe they are a leader in the manufacturing of the electronics field,
But not in the development and R&D fields.
This would be the reasons they are the leader in stealing the technology from other nations and companies. Without that, China would still be stuck in the early to mid 1900's of last century.

Don't get me started on the Japanese & I'm not a prejudice type person . I had a 1971 Toyota Fj-40 Land Cruiser , a Chevy motor 6cyl or SBC would bolt right in ! Hmmm ?
Hmmm...
You bring up and interesting point...
The Resistance values capacitance, even the necessary inductance - all a tuning issue and resonance...for Radios like Cobra, Midland even Uniden
All there, just like what we did to CREATE the chassis in the first place.
Only now reduced to a tiny bunch of chips...
Now, we have to reverse engineer that mess - but we obtain the initial BASE circuit designs, and they have not changed.
Only their insatiable desire to microminiaturize the concept into a tiny platform. Which then takes away our abilities to repair them by conventional means, we have to now upgrade our platforms to repair that technology, not the circuit's used and their basic premise and design (what they do or how it's put together) - the parts in the circuit are still the same, we just need to obtain the method to repair that which they "enclosed" and encased.
And it takes more of the engineering effort to "Break out" the connections to interface to a variable that we can control. We are the human factor, the design they used - did not - they merely copied and automated it. It takes more - a lot more, effort in making the interface for the Human to use and understand, then it is to make the radio itself. It does no one, even them, any good to make it so we can't adjust volume or squelch.
We are losing the battle of the Thru hole, whether by bread boarding or to repair - to a machine they created...
Hey, it's ok, to micron-ize the radio fro convenience, but to take away the ability to build platforms in which to make these concepts work or even develop new ones is being left to a machine - not our imaginations.
Sad...

Part of the deal for having a factory in China make your stuff, you have to hand over your technology. You can't own a factory in China. It has to be a Chinese company and its half owned by the government.
