Well said, Paul!

Some people pay a fortune for a (IMHO very ugly) Picasso. Think about 
how many Icom transceivers you can buy for only one Picasso...

It's indeed all very relative.

Then it was the Gonset G66B receiver and Elmac AF67 transmitter. I had a rash of Swan radios beginning with the 240, then the 350C and 700CX; Now not to be out done I had the Drake TR3 and TR4, Atlas 210X... several of them.....
