That seems to be a general consensus.
Wonder what the next 'must have' unit will feature?

For that answer, I think that John Plimmer would be the one to consult..

His AMBCB DX is amazing!

I think his current AMBCB DX target

You mean that John doesn't have that easy pick? *I, on the other hand,

The HQ145XC is an extremely nice piece and coupled with a nice
loop....is almost tailor made for that scenario.
