Same experience I had back in '83. Was my first rig after getting
licensed, a lot of stuff in that one box. Picked up a KWM-2A that was
10 years older the following year and was amazed it how much more it
heard. More accurately, how little the 101EE was hearing. A simple ant
switchbox reversed between the two provided the proof.
