I keep asking myself if I really want to plunk down the bucks for one of those monsters, and the answer I give myself is "the Orion you have isn't 4 times better than the K2 (more like 1.01X), so what makes you think the IC-7800 will be 10 times better?" In my case, I'd be far better off spending half the cost of an IC-7800 on antennas; I'd definitely get the most bang for the buck that way.
All I can say is if you really, really want one of those behemoths and can afford it, more power to you. Life's too short to not get what you want. Just my $0.02. 73, Bob WA4FOM _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
