Nuts -- I shop hard, do due diligence, and buy new, and buy once, and 
after doing my homework, I rarely have buyer's remorse.

Omni VII = first transceiver = still happy after all these years.

Wife Susan =  first wife =  still happy all these years.

	(and I bet YOUR wife does not help you
	build and install YOUR antennas like mine does...)

I drive NEW cars almost every time.   But I shop hard and due diligence 
and get a good one - and then drive it for 15 years  (I sold one after 
11 years once, but was sorry about that.)

I saved a LOT of money over 30 years in business so I could buy new and 
buy GOOD - 'cause good stuff costs good money.  I waited until I could 
afford the latest and greatest.   YOU guys can run the old stuff, I want 
new.   (Not that there is anything wrong with used radios... I am only 
talking about what I want in my shack - your shack is your deal and I am 
good with that.)  But...

How much credibility should TT give comments, demands, and wish lists, 
if a guy is not going to buy anything?  Some guys only buy used, and 
nurse 30 year old rigs along - but they have loads of opinions and 
demands as to what TT should do next - even though they won't be buying 
anything, no matter what TT does.  Of course, they all have a right to 
express an opinion, but TT should only be listening to guys who 1) have 
money,   and 2)  are willing to part some of it, and actually buy 
something.  THOSE guys define the market.  All the rest are just talking.

Yeah... New is good.  It fuels the economy.  TT does not make any money 
if everyone buys used gear.  And guys wonder why they look lean, mean, 
and hungry . . .

That is just MY take...  QRT

(I need to do more operating than typing and I have overstayed my 
welcome already.)   :-)
