I'm back to both the 897D and 7000 for back up and Go-Kit rigs, but 
dislike menu driven rigs with a passion.  That might be why I much 
prefer to use both of them through Ham Radio Deluxe on the computers. 
Unfortunately I don't have a good laptop to use them portable.

It was mid to late October when we stayed in the "big hotel" right on 
the beach for over a week (company paid the bill ).   I had just spent a 
full week, working at the Carrollton plant and then another week of 
seminars at Key West.  Two weeks straight of programming, theory, and 
development and I was ready to get back to work for a rest where I only 
was working 10 to 12 hours a day. <:-))

I had gone from cold Michigan to Carrollton KY where the fall colors 
were at their peak, to Key West which was in the mid 80s, and back to 
Michigan which was COLD!

73 and hope you are enjoying the warm weather.
