    Is that the IC-R9500?
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    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?

    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.
