Hah! Reminds me of the folks in Seattle telling everyone how rainy it is there all the time. (The only times I've been there it's been sunny and beautiful - so I got a little suspicious...)
I haven't had any other radio hooked up to my antennae for a long time. (I do use my old Ten-Tec as an on-air monitor, though.) I'm using 1.6.3 686 with a Firebox. (I'm really enjoying the new multiple receive "sub-rx" feature.) I think most of the time those of us that are happily using the radio day-to-day just spend more time operating and less time talking about it!

Version 1.4 something of the software. I have an 870 but it just sits on the side and never gets used. I see something much different when I read post on here. I see people working together to make the best damn ham radio the world has ever seen. I use this radio every night on 3870 khz. here in Texas. It becomes the topic of conversation many nights and not because I make it the topic. It always works and it always hears as good if not better than anything else on the band and that includes the 10,000 dollar radios on freq. I enjoy the attention so I don't think anyone else should buy one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Markey, KN3C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz>; "'Gerald Capodieci'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 6:50 PM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Is Anyone Using the SDR1000 as Primary Radio > An excellent question.
