Amateurs come from all walks of life and have many different view points, 
nice thing about our hobby.  Having operated Communication Stations and a 
ham for 70 yrs. No receiver or transceiver is perfect, but why sell  "old 
friends" ?  They do not take up much shelf space unless of course one has 
to use a spare bedroom for a ham shack and or maybe operating on a shoe 
string.

Sometimes its nice to go back to an older model, IE: try keying a newer 
model xcvr at 65 WPM and up.   The Corsair will do over 100 and be full 
QSK.  Try that with newer models.  Triton IV has a nice quiet receiver 
etc.
