Huh? I ran CW mobile for several years with a 100D because I deemed it well thought out for a mobile situation and simple to operate while driving. Plowed through a heavy crowd on two bands one afternoon to work Ducie while tooling along at 70 mph. I could change bands and tune the ATAS by feel with scarcely a glance at the control head. Liked it better than the 857D I run now. But obviously not a contester's rig.
Someday, maybe, if they bring out a detachable head, something-Elecraft will adorn my center console. 73, Kent, K9ZTV > On Sep 11, 2016, at 3:09 PM, Jim Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Sun,9/11/2016 12:13 PM, KK1W wrote: >> Very interested in the FT100's for a young ham friend.
