You really have to consider the 6600 from FlexRadio (even the 6400 for a
single op - you can't do full SO2R, but you can do a great SO2V).
Full SO2R built in. - works with N1MM
OTRSP built in - N1MM integrated
50db band pass filters built in so you can do dueling CQ's
4 full HF band receivers and a share transmitter for all receivers
And, if you really like you can run a M2 from 1 radio. And, both can be
remote if you really want to. Built in from the ground up.
I don't have the contest headaches I used to get after a long contest.
Just easier to listen to.
Very simplistic integration into N1MM for SO2R - no DX Double required.
Sadly, the simplicity of station integration is just much simpler than any
other radio.
