Charlie, You must admit it's been fun along the way :-). I have Icoms Yeasus etc scattered around here everywhere, about 10 of them and they have all given me pleasure at some time or another and still do. I got an SG2020 when they came out.......thought it was the best thing since sliced bread! It's died more times than I have had hot dinners.......but I still have it and does currently work! And then I drank the Elecraft Kool Aid.......the taste was mysterious, but I grew to like it very much. I look forward to new software releases all the time now......when I load them up I get that new radio feeling every time......yet I still have the same hardware :-) Never look to the past, always look to the future and your next Elecraft purchase!
