Tommy,
6146? 807? What kind of code is that? {'-)
No, I know what they are! I was just musing about the differences
between the old tube rigs and the modern solid state SDR's... Where an
an old tube rig can get struck by lightning and keep ticking, many of
the new rigs can barely take a static discharge. Of course, most of the
new rigs can be dropped down a flight of stairs and sustain only
cosmetic damage! I am always amazed when seeing old Field Day pictures
where they were operating several hundred pounds of "radio" in the
field! And those were the days when keeping one hand in your pocket
really meant something! Ah! The old "foot warmers" were nice during
Winter, but just exacerbated things during the grueling dog days of Summer!

Looked on the company website and there seems to be complete info on each of their products too. Also have Cady’s book The Elecraft KX Line that I’ve been reading and find it is chock full of good info.
