Thanks, Charles. That's helpful info, to me anyway. I consider myself a
serious DXer but, these days, only a casual contester (I fool around in them,
generally S&P style, for a few hours at a time but usually don't send in a
log).
It seems that the equipment needs of DXers and serious contesters aren't
always the same. Things like high-resolution, real time spectrum scopes and CW
Skimmer support are more important in contesting than DXing. Maybe
manufacturers should consider offering two versions of their top-of-the-line,
high
performance rigs, one for each group?
Just a thought.
