After some time in the chair, I am wondering how another rig would perform in extreme contest duty.

Don't get me wrong, I still love my ProIII, but as a run rig I think I am pushing it to its limits. The close in dynamic range just isn't there for contest duty, something which I was warned about but didn't take too seriously.

I would really like the performance of a K3 but I hate the ergonomics of the damn thing. 7800 is out for now. I am wondering if I can muster up enough cash for a 7700. That would be interesting...

Or I might end up trying an inrad filter. $200 is a lot cheaper than buying a whole new radio.
