Sorry but from my point of view it isn't worth that much additional cost for
that improvement. The stability of my Omni VI, and FT-1000D is more than
satisfactory for my use. Maybe an option where those who think they require
that additional stability??
Looking at the radios that I have owned in the past, SB-300, KWM-2, Swan 350
(!), HW-16, TenTec 544 etc. Frequency stability has improved with the newer
radios and I have no problems with the current frequency stability.
