Also consider that if you intend to use the new 60 meter band, the MKV 
field is more difficult to make work on that band than the MKV 200 watt 
version.

i concur on the INRAD roofing filter.  It's money well spent.

The Pro II has been replaced by the III.

I'm waiting for George (INRAD) to come out with a roofing filter for 
the 775 which in my opinion will make it a super receiver.
