[ICOM] IC-7700 or IC-7800 vs. IC-775DSP

[Anders Janis SM4RNA]

Yes, I am aware about that if I once get a spectrum scop I will get 
addicted. That is indeed a reason, not to get a 7700 or 7800. :)

Ofcourse the tech stuff is apealing, but I am not willing to spend that kind 
of money for it. And as I enjoy the 775 that much I get even less motivated.

But sooner or later, probably later, I will become an owner of a full DSP 
radio. There is no other way.

/Anders
