Makes you wonder ! I see it all the time.. There WIN 7 light speed machine
with 32 GB Ram and QUAD SSD's in Raid takes 40 sec to flash screen !!!!
Gosh I still remember to the frustration of a transceiver with limited
"Clarifier" and the joys of Split RX and TX boxes. during the BIG Romeo
splits.
Now with LP Pans, SDR's, RBN and SKimmers ( for the CW and now RITTY ) and
Multiple Monitors the shack takes on a Mission Control environment.
And your frustration level off the scale when your wait timer go's off and
the big tube is ready and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I my self enjoy the HUNT.... the listening on the other VFO trying to guess
what and how he is operating.. Some OP's are predictable some it's a crap
shoot.
but that the FUN IMHO.... My .02 and then some
There is a old YouTube skit that I visit time and again to keep this in
prospective
