--------------------------------------- 813s! I'm with you Matt! I have to constantly remind myself that Ham radio has changed. For some of us, the first and most interesting part of Ham radio is the challenge of building and modifying gear. For others, the most interesting part of Ham radio is snagging new DX or hitting a bigger contest score. Many of these Hams are looking for "plug 'n play" solutions. They have little or no interest in building. Of course most of us are a little bit of both, but the swing is definitely toward the "plug 'n play" group here on the Elecraft reflector. We're all Hams, but becoming more disparate in our interests as times change. I sometimes feel like I'm bouncing back and forth across a warp in space-time, reading here about people drooling over a $13,000 legal-limit amplifier or a better feeling knob, then finding in my in-box other e-mails about Hams who are still cobbling their receivers and transmitters together from scrapped 1960's TV sets and building variable condensers out of discarded food cans.
