[TowerTalk] TH-7DXX vs. TH-6DX

[Richard (Rick) Karlquist]

I used to have a TH6.  You have to adjust it for CW, low phone or high
phone.  That is an extreme limitation.  I would never go back to that
restriction.  BTW, you cannot fix the narrow banding of the TH6 by
using a tuner.  The gain and F/B will still not be any good off
frequency.
