If I had a dollar for every time I dreamed beyond my present reach, I'd be rich now. Dreaming out loud on a ham reflector before license obtained is just a modern retread of an ancient pastime.
For someone who has high end boat anchor RX in his house, a rig with an inferior RX will be readily apparent. If one can hear why an R390 is a great RX of the era, a low end Icom will not satisfy. For someone who can hear R390 tubes getting soupy, a Flex 6700, an Icom 7851 and a K3 do things right that CAN be heard if you know what to listen for. Flex 6700 $7499 Icom 7851 $13099 Field upgradeable basic K3S/10 kit $2099 Of course if $2k is six months of spare money, a little more dicey. But dreaming beyond your current reach ain't bad.... 73, Guy K2AV On Sun, Jul 17, 2016 at 2:58 PM, Clay Autery <caut...@montac.com> wrote: > Roger that!
