Yep I outgrew it, when my uncle author ritis came around, and my eyes need more than just reading glasses to see wires from a chip. I was happy to hear about 60 meters. Those things above 220 or 440 dont excite me at all, unless I might attach them to a satellite terminal, and after 30 years of those, I havent even bothered to try to hear the astronauts.

At least most of the newer rigs can expand to that. I got it, when I expanded mine at the time I sent it in to fix a tuner knob problem. If you saw the ifs ands and butts, you have to be a certain distance from other hams, from those little computer reading chips that control electricity, etc. etc. etc. Pain in the ass.
