[Elecraft] Icom IC-7300

I'm the same way, I work on complex stuff all day as well.
In my other Expensive Hobby I keep a Reef Aquarium. I've seen a lot of gizmos and gadgets come and go over the yearsand even I fell for a few of them, but more and more I have come full circle and back to the tried methods and equipment.
I think many at times fall for the latest gizmo or craze, then we realize that it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Touchscreens do have their place, but not on an HF rig (at least mine) I prefer real buttons and knobs.
I bought the K-Line is because it was straightforward and not overly (and unnecessarily complex) and somethingthat I could work on if it breaks. At the end of the day I want a radio that lets me hear the other guy, so I can talk to him.
