I will admit the DDS VFO idea looks interesting, and I understand they have made great strides in the DDS area in the past few years. To me, there's something about a digital VFO that doesn't *feel* like a radio! But that's personal preference. I don't think I'll do the DDS thing for Drake. Although I do have some wild ideas about multiple RV7s on the TR7/R7 combination.... I think the switching capability is there to do some interesting stuff. Can you say "four independant analog VFOs"? Who needs memories. :) However, considering the relative rarity and expense of the external VFO for my HyGain 3750, I may look at the DDS idea down the road for that application. 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.S.A.
