** Take time to read this article and see how it fits into our Amateur Radio
** world.
**
** Given a couple of exceptions, are we not now to the ‘throw-away’,
** not-repairable aspect in the Ham world in terms of some of our radios?
**
** And are we headed further, to a ‘base’ transceiver world and the
** ‘cloud’ for our apps?
**
** Makes you wonder.

Progress? Bah! Humbug!
I like radio that glows in the dark...

BUT, having an ICOM 706 MKIIG (1.6 to 460 MHz capable) under the passenger
seat of my car and a veritable antenna farm using a great screwdriver
antenna out front on the bumper and a 2-band VHF/UHF on the roof is pretty
fantastic, too.
