I'd rather have just ONE ICOM 7850 or 7851 & save all of that extra space & get rid of all of that excess HEAT which I Hate.

Yes but I will still take the old stuff than computer with an RF deck attachedLooks cool...but a flex with a leenyar would run circles around all of it
Anybody that owns one of those huge DAKs plus all of that other gear only wants more space for more stuff. Like myself, I need a larger room or house to support that addiction. As for heat, I lived in Florida once. Summer is not fit for man, beast or the cost of flood insurance.I'd rather have just ONE ICOM 7850 or 7851 & save all of that extra space & get rid of all of that excess HEAT which I Hate.

I rarely use my Johnson Ranger or BW5100 either. Great radios on cold nights. But all my other radios run circles around them.I like the old stuff but the prices are a bit much IMO. I'm not an old car guy either. I over payed for a Johnson Ranger because of the cool factor but at the end of the day I am performance minded. That ugly little box connected to my PC delivers the goods. It's connected to a windows machine....now you really hate it.

You still running the dave transmitter? I really wanted one but didn't know the right people and ended up with the anan 100.
It's really spoiled me. I'd like to upgrade to one of the models with diversity reception....I'd really like the 200 watt model to go with my 3cx3000. It will be a while before it's finished though. It's a stack of parts with no cabinet.
Yep, it's really that good. A few of my friends got the new one...even gooder.You still running the dave transmitter? I really wanted one but didn't know the right people and ended up with the anan 100.

You too hey? I started a 3CX3000A7 project two years ago but only have the 4500 volt soft start power supply and filament supply finished so far. The rest of the design is in my head and the rest of the parts are scattered around my shack........and shop........and basement.

If you're not in Dave's circle the chances of getting one of those is close to ZERO! I always enjoy hearing mustang when conditions are right.Yep, it's really that good. A few of my friends got the new one...even gooder.
