My thanks to the eleven who sent me a reply about a new rig. I really got
some very good information and some things to think about. For some reason
I never considered a used rig. But, several have said they have purchased
used rigs and get more rig for the buck. I will do some looking while the
Paragon is back with Ten Tec. I do have my old IC-735 in line now. It is a
workable rig for CW. But it doesn't have a good front end and you can't
hear the weak signals, even with my DSP-9+ Timewaver external filter. With
porr filtering, the 735 is not much good in a contest.
Thanks again ..............Dick - KS0M
