With some of the recent web discussions on the IC-7800 and the Orion 2, this
ought to be an interesting topic for the next NCJ "Contesting on a Budget
article:
Those âsuper radiosâ: the catâs pajamas or a gold plated Lexus?
With many good radios available on the new and used markets for under $2000,
why spend $14,000 on an IC-7800, or purchase even the much more reasonably
priced Orion II? Do the capabilities justify the cost? Are the myriad
features a plus or just too many to master? Can we build true SO2R capability
into
one box? Do we even want to? What less pricey alternatives are available?
Please direct your responses to _PaulKB8N@AOL.Com_ (mailto:PaulKB8N@AOL.Com)

I appreciate your insights, and will need your responses no later than
Thursday, May 25th. Thanks in advance!
Paul, K5AF
