Thank you, original poster, for bringing BOX6 to the attention of so many people for the first time.
Regarding pricing, this might be a common tactic used by some platforms (like Tomo) to ensure that links remain visible and to reduce the number of inquiries. The actual situation is that it's no longer about the price itself, but rather whether there is a problem or not. The last BOX6 modem experimenter was picked up by BA7... on the morning of August 11th.
The BOX6, with its ancient and highly unconventional amplifier structure (including Class C amplifiers), is not a high-performance device. However, it still performs adequately (one unit tested). It's reasonable for the price of this toy. Of course, as described, it is only intended for modulation and demodulation experiments.
As for what is referred to as "capital," I cannot agree with that assessment.
However, I have never denied being a "shady businessman," and I even refer to myself as such.
I believe that, regardless of the ultimate purpose, as long as it results in profit,
Anyone who prioritizes profit over everything else is a crook.
But at least I'm not that kind of unscrupulous dealer who pretends not to see when your equipment malfunctions.
It's not like those kinds of unscrupulous merchants who exploit innocent people.
If you are interested, please feel free to communicate and discuss further before making a decision.
Ultimately, they are just toys; happiness is what matters.
The car is available for sale in autumn. If you are interested, please contact me to discuss further.
Ultimately, I also hope that the experts and experienced individuals will pay attention to vhf dx because there are really not many available resources. As a small, inexperienced person, my ability is limited, but I sincerely hope that you can all pay attention to the vhf dx community and contribute to its development.
