Adam, thank you for adding some sanity to this thread. Amazing, people chop
any brand radio, for their own gratification. I am sorry, but Adam has
pretty well hit it on the head. Technology is changing very fast these
days. If, for sake of comparison, look at the 75S-1 and 75S-3. Compare
them, in the same time cycle to the 756, Pro, Pro II and the forthcoming Pro
III.
Whether or not it is Brand "I", "K" or "Y", me thinks you will find the
changes amount to more than the changes between the Collins S-1 and Collins
S-3, given the same time frame.
The changes in technology today, compared to just a year ago ... well, there
is no comparison. Noise floor, 3rd order ... so on and so on ... changes
happen for a reason. I would rather see advancement in the technology than
see them stagnate with the same radio for 10 years with nothing..!
