[ICOM] Need Advice About IC-7800 (To buy or not to buy)

[Jerry Keller]

Why buy the 7800 for $10K+ ??? ... when for the same money you can buy THREE 756ProII's, a SteppIR 3L Yagi, and probably have enough $ left over to go on a mini-DXpedition.  Ask yourself... is a 7800 worth FIVE 756ProII's??

Food for thought....  73 and good luck with the decision...

73, Jerry K3BZ

  No brainer.....buy the 7800.

  I can't afford it (at the present) but in the past, I have bought both the 
  756PRO and the 706g when they first came out, in Akihabra, Japan.
  I have NEVER regreted these purchases.
  Remember, you never really own anything (!). You are just the temporary user 
  of the item, umtil it passes to the next owner.
  As a Cancer survivor, I can tell you: "you can't take it with you" , so enjoy 
  now....
