Subject: [ft817] good to see the move - longtime ft817 user

?

good to see the move... long-time ft817 user (just sold my two old ones), and now using an ft-818 (same rig in many ways, just slightly updated)...

i've been trying to get rid of my boat anchors, and have for the most part... now using some more modern SDRs, but just can't leave the ft-81X form factor...

it is quite remarkable that after nearly 20 years, no manufacturer has come up with a rig to match it...

and still no NOAA WX - LOL! (but that's OK, as maritime HF WX-fax works FB)
