    That being the case he's mistaken a glass doorknob for crystal meth.

    Sorry Dune Cat, right idea but the wrong Spice. If he smoked the good stuff like those Guild Navigators he could fold space.

    What do you call the mouse in the third moon?

    We call that one "About $3500"

    Here is another smoker. A 920 in trade for a 7000 and ALS-500? So if we look at the used market what are we talking, 1400$ give or take? A 920 is a nice radio but it has not been 1400$ nice for a long time. Now, I realize he is willing to sell it for 815$ but I think he should have done that math before stating what he wants for trade.

    Realistically he would be more likely to trade the radio for a 7000 straight up or even a 706MIIG. That being said, I liked my 920 but Id not trade a 7000 for one.

    Okay, okay, so he is not smoking near as much as the OP's example but still. I think he hit the cigar a little too hard and was used to a pipe.

    My Siltronix 1011D cost me a good $30, but I had to work on it. The main problem with it was it covered the CHICKENBAND and not the Important part of 10 Meters (28.0 to 28.5). I reset the vfo so it would, but then the dial was nowhere near close or usable. So I bought a N3ZI digital Readout for it and now it will display where I am and I can forget what the VFO Dial says.
    Puts out good power and is a FB 10M rig. In Museum service now, but can be called into duty at any time.

    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    Careful, it would be a shame to see a classic at the bottom of a hole.

    YUUUUP! The Vega was a fine car. All it needed was a dose of small block and some fat tires. Pintos were like that also, a little 289 or 302 fixed everything that ailed it.

    At least the Pinto's engine was a real engine that had seen service as an engine prior to being a Pinto engine whereas the Vega engine was a V8 that GM cut in half long ways and didn't even change the way the firing order worked to help balance the thing out.
