[RTTY] ST-8000?

[Barry]

Bob's post yesterday sure generated a lot of interest in that ST-8000 on 
Ebay. I watched the bidding of several familiar calls, including a 
"slugfest" between NO2T and KG6OK, in the $300 range, then a couple 
of last-minute bidders drove the final price up to $642! A bit pricey for 
an "as-is," no return, piece of gear, in my opinion. BTW, is "billfix" on 
the reflector?

I do wonder if anyone has compared the print of an ST-8000 with 
MMTTY or RITTY? If so, I'd be interested in your comments.
