Howdy Panzer, the UT-106 is worth every cent. I was reluctant and waited
before buying one. But now I'm really glad I did. I wouldn't live w/o
it
now. It makes listening a real pleasure and much less of chore. It
makes
your noise level completely adjustable and really does work. Before I
bought one, I looked into other dsp software options etc, & noticed that
all
the bad I had heard was from someone trying to sell me something else.
You
won't regret buying the UT-106. IMHO

I'll tell you it was a waste of my time. Rained all freaking day long
and most of the outside vendors were closed. I walked around inside for
a little bit, picked up an R5 and left. One thing I can never understand
about hamfests is the smell of some of the people. Do these smelly guys
spend all there money on radios and cant afford soap?

You do have a point, I saw quite a few really freakish characters
there today. I had to ask myself - do I really belong here? But then I
looked into the mirror and had to say - yes! :-)

Today (Saturday) the weather was no good for the flee market, but
there is still enough to see indoors. I did my usual round around
Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu, AOR etc., which kept me entertained for most of
the day. I did not expect to end up spending most of the time at the
Winradio stand as they have some new things, like software-defined
shortwave radios etc., and good bargains on radios and antennas. I
got a deal on the WR-1550e with some optional software, and a very
nice discone antenna.

I did not originally plan to go on Sunday again, but if the weather
clears up I might still go to the flee market.
