If they are trying to kill off Japanese radios, they are succeeding.
Back in the early 1970s we used to sell professional UHF handhelds for over £700.
Simple QRP projects, 10m, 8m, 6m, 4m, FT8, 160m, WSPR, LF/MF, sub-9kHz, nanowaves and other random stuff, some not related to amateur radio.
It is a dead certainty that I have never even come close to winning the AL section of this contest! Why? 10W to a 2m big-wheel omni antenna ...

Production methods & low cost bowl of rice labour as come a long way since 1960's PYE Bantams. Plus they are selling Tens of Thousands to all markets not just amateur. Unlike the Bantam, they may have sold on average 10 per week? Plus the Pye company had to put up with union demands on pay and improved working conditions.
