[Elecraft] FW: [ic7800] The 7800 as a QRP rig...a couple of observations

[David F. Reed]

While I own an IC-7800, I use my K2 for QRP contests, and my K1 and KX1 
for more portable operations (though the K2 sometimes does duty there too).

I have never missed my IC-7800 when using my K2; I have sometimes missed 
my K2 when using one of the K rigs, mostly a band issue.

And those are what I like about my K2 as well...

I am due to send my IC-7800 in for the upgrade, and I will miss it while 
it is gone though...
