The Quality Triangle…

The axiom is that you can only ever pick one of 3 sides. Which means you can only achieve 2 of the 3 choices. I’m okay with that. But an interesting facet of amateur radio (and probably many hobbies) is the quality triangle does not apply. You can can spend a lot of money, on low quality hardware, over an extended period of time. You can also very quickly get quality hardware, on a decent budget, at swap meets, through club swaps, and sites like QRZ, Craigslist, and what seems to be the new king is Facebook Marketplace. Bend the quality triangle to your own will.
