[DXBase] recomendations...

Mon, 25 Feb 2002 11:24:29 -0500

I would concur with this recommendation and the recommendation of=

Burghardt's.  I bought a used Pro from them last month -- about 
$1650.00.  The rig was in excellent condition and has performed 
flawlessly.  It works well on PSK31 and other digital modes.  One=

nice thing about Burghardt's is that they give you top dollar on=

trade-ins of late model equipment.  They might, unfortunately,=
 draw 
the line at your Delta! ; - )
