Yes, and what you don't see is 'DSG standing off in the background glowering at me and my juvenile pursuits... :rofl:

Nice radio—5KHz to 3GHz coverage. I would subject myself to some glowering from the XYL for one.

Was DSG giving you the look because of the frequency you dialed in, or because you wanted to take one home?

Hopefully you were'nt trying to work trade. I don't think that's what they mean by wife swapping.

I don't know... having met DSG, well, if he was dumb enough to try such a trade, those ICOM weenies might just have gone for it...

Because of the frequency - she thinks the receiver is neat. I am eventually going to buy one, possibly two for my test bench.

What really made her roll her eyes is that I set everything which could be tuned to the 'Bowl...including stuff in the flea market. I musta got at least 50 of them and only got "caught" once...by the guy at the RigRunner booth. That actually turned out pretty well, as he gave me the low-down on their integratable battery charge controllers. I now have something else to $pend money on.
