Topband: Rig Question

[Carl]

I wouldnt want a radio that I had to retweak every time I changed a 
performance setting. That got old real fast during my evaluations here. For 
something as mundane as a SSB ragchew or roundtable it was simple to get 
pleasing audio and leave alone but as soon as I went back to DX/Contesting 
it was untolerable
