Well, Tom, there you go. Don't forget those two additional 32-bit
processors too. Color and the 2 additional processors cost an
additional six grand. But wait a minute--Icom's soon-to-come-lately
7800 has fewer roofing filters and one less band stacking register per
band. I also like my real analog meter better than a digital
simulation.

Drop by sometime. I'm only 35 miles west of Waynesburg.

I'll just keep slogging along with my ancient Orion. For the price of a
'7800, I could own three Orions.
