where's the fun in just hooking up power to a chip? That's not
homebrewing, at least not in my book.


Fair enough - only you can decide what you enjoy. When you post to the
group, we know where you're coming from, so we can interpret
accordingly.

But only I can decide what I enjoy, only Harry what he enjoys, and so on
for every individual. Amateur radio and electronics is about doing what
each of us personally likes, not what we "should" or "must".

You are entitled to your own opinions about other people's preferences,
Frank, but it's disrespectful to post them here as personal criticisms
(and it doesn't encourage the rest of us to respect you).
