Wowee!

I Like Ike(com)!


And a Wowee price $9995.00 (discounted) KJI Electronics

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

But with the IC7800 you can save on forklift rental fees.

Wait a second Dave ....you don't understand ... that 7800's display is in
color and the Orion is in 50's BW I believe .... That in it self explains
the price difference.

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.

My Southgate Type 7 has *two* real analog meters. Nice
easy-to-read round 3-1/2 inch ones.

Also Made In USA.

Now digital is not as good as analog? digital is a mere simulation?

Brian, "real" radios are ANALOG.

Real he-men morsemen don't use digital.

Digital is for techno-weebs who "don't have any interest in radio!"

Dave (who is interested in radio because he learned morse) can
download FIRMWARE for his Orion!

Analog morsemen are high tech, "interested in radio!"

LHA























What the heck is a "Southgate Type 7?"

Why is it named after a community in southern California?

Why doesn't Jimmie have a Type 8? Can't he download FIRMWARE
to improve it?

Did he ever have a Type 6?

Does he need a mailing address for the Jan Smithers Fan Club?

So many questions...

When this comes back to bit you down the line, reflect upon the fact
that only you have made such a statement here.

How would you know, kindly old gent?

You never quite get things right. Dave is interested in radio. Dave
has been a licensed radio amateur for four decades. Dave knows morse.
Dave can and does download firmware for his Orion. You too can download
Orion firmware but it won't do much for you unless you buy an Orion.

I feel likewise, there's just something about an analog meter.

There's a reason for that. In many applications, analog displays are
preferred. For example, when adjustment for minimum or maximum
is needed, or when a quick glance is all you can spare.

Remember when carmakers started making digital speedometers - and
then found drivers didn;t like them because it took longer to get a reading?

Some of us even prefer an analog dial. Hopwever, my favorite mode is
digital.
