[R-390] Average Ham Shack

I find just as much enjoyment with R-390As and SP-600s.

I guess if a K2 suits you, go for it!

I run separate transmitter and receiver in my shack.  There is a great 
deal of joy in doing just that.

I'm tired of the $10K transceiver that is SS that you can't even work on 
with SMT equipment.

Guess it in the eyes and ears of the beholder.
