Re: Pros and Cons for keeping my FT 817ND
Andrew,
I also have too many rigs although been told many times one cannot, hi.
Of the rigs you listed I also have some.? I would keep the IC7200 and KX3.? The IC718 is very good starter rig, but old tech.? FT891 and IC7200 about the same except for size.? I have both, but prefer the IC7200. but FT891 would be excellent HF mobile, only reason to have it.? Both are IF DSP so can setup IF filters.? FT857 is old tech, but also would be good mobile, does about all one needs in a mobile, HF-440 MHz.
If keep IC7200 and KX3 would have good 100W HF rig and KX3 for QRP, probably one of the best QRP rigs.
Just my opinion.

Hi Andrew,
Tough decision, you've got a fine bunch of equipment indeed. You were lucky and smart to get the inrad filter, I got one too for my 21 year old original ft817.. still puts out full power from original finals. The KX3 has a magnificent receiver but isn't very rugged like the 817....my suggestion for what it's worth, don't part with your 817ND!
Hope to catch you on the band's, vy73 to the group.? ?Rick?

Sorry to continue this tangent - If you're not a GMail user, feel free to stop reading now :)
I've found GMail's spam filtering to be a little too aggressive sometimes and will often see legit list emails (I subscribe to quite a few lists) directed to the spam folder. I make extensive use of filters in my gmail and there is an option (sadly, per filter) to "never send to spam" that has certainly helped alleviate that issue.

There's a lengthy explanation here, it's late and I've only had a quick read and it's certainly beyond my control.
My concern of the OP was purely a good will gesture, sadly I wasted my time.

I'd be wondering less about individual? members, and more about why this happens with Io but didnt with yahoo. I liked yahoo much better. Many more groups to choose from, better free functionality, and few if any glitches.? ? ?I hope yahoo groups reappears someday after they realize the mistake they made by closing down.. ? ?Jmho, ymmv, fwiw, etc.

Joe and all.
I actually sent the chap in my role as admin a private email after he left reassuring him it was not personal and he would be welcomed back.
Unfortunately his reply was such that I chose not to continue the conversation.
Clearly he was as most upset and did take it rather personally.
Coincidentally during this lengthy topic there has been another member removed for the same reason (marking a message as spam).
I agree let's move on and get back to the matter of radio. One thing it has done is make members aware of the issue.
