Let me clear up the fog for you Clint. My point is the Extra ain't worth
a
damn any more.

Thats for sure, but in my case the only reason I upgraded was for the
$250.00.
And I got to take it from of a bunch of No-Code Dead Heads. Still havent
used
the EXTRA for the EXTRA band segments, probably never will.

I mostly use them when I contest and/or chase DX on HF. Thats basically
it..

In fact that is why I decided to upgrade years ago.

Having the extra license means that I can rove up and down an entire
phone band at
will, and not having to stop at an advanced or general subband edge. No
forbidden
ham bands.... And I do rove during contests. I don't compete, but I
work the contesters
to see how far my signal propagates, etc.... Contests provide a steady
stream of
short QSOs.
