I kind of like it. It matches my teeth and gold chains, and the spinners on my Escalade. Quoted:

That gold bling doesn't do it for me at all.  I kind of like it. It matches my teeth and gold chains, and the spinners on my Escalade. 
You need one for sure then. |
Insanity, man. Why anyone would drop $10k on a knobified radio these days is beyond me. For $10k you could get an Anan 200D or Flex 6500 plus an Expert 1KFA amp and a shit hot PC to run it all. Oh, and a case of beer for the local SDR elmer to come over and show you how to run it all

Wonder how long their designer has been with them.. Circa 1991.. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f110/vassili67/706/ic781.jpg Tacticool handles even then.  I really want one of those. |

I have had a polar opposite experience. And I feel completely blind without my waterfall display. |

Quoted:
If it came down to having to use a SDR or nothing I would do nothing. I use computers enough. Mine isn't even in proximety of my radio, which is why I have no desire to move into the digital world either. Also interesting. A revulsion for computers for recreation so powerful it is surprising you are even on arfcom. Hell, I use computers in everything I do for both work and play. Racing sailboats and motorcycles for data acquisition. For radio, obviously. For flying, too. |

A revulsion for computers for recreation so powerful it is surprising you are even on arfcom. Hell, I use computers in everything I do for both work and play. Racing sailboats and motorcycles for data acquisition. For radio, obviously. For flying, too. I browse the internet and do design work on it. For play I rather just not screw with it, that includes using decades old transmitters for my radio control planes that cost a lot more than my ham radios. No spread spectrum for me either. It's funny when the SHTF and I have to go to the field 95% of the guys can't function without a powerhouse computer to model something in 3D and are shocked it can be figured out with a calculator using nothing but trig functions in about 1/3 of the time lol. I'm not normally this acive on ARFCOM either at home. But I've been on paid leave for the last 4 months and will be until just after the first of the year. Normally I browse ARFCOM and post to kill time at work waiting for someting to break, blow up, or generally fall apart that needs my attention. But whatever floats your boat. |

I remember Dayton 1990, standing in front of the display case at Icom's booth and watching it decode RTTY all on it's own. The puddle of drool I left in front of the case was big.

You have attracted my interest.... tell me more. |

Yes, yes I can. HD-SDR utilizes HRD to control the rig. Quoted:

Can you tune a signal by clicking on it with your mouse? Yes, yes I can. HD-SDR utilizes HRD to control the rig. I can do it two different ways with my K3 and DX Labs. Either click on the DX spot or via Commander I can use my mouse wheel. |

Quoted:
No. Can you tune a signal by spinning a knob?  Quoted:
Quoted:
Can you tune a signal by clicking on it with your mouse? No. Can you tune a signal by spinning a knob? Actually, yes I can... 
...if I had one, that is  Honestly, I find the mouse wheel more than adequate for any knob spinning activies.

No need for two dozen mouse clicks, just to adjust the AGC attack speed. Having a dedicated knob for everything is NICE. Quoted:

Why anyone would drop $10k on a knobified radio these days is beyond me. No need for two dozen mouse clicks, just to adjust the AGC attack speed. Having a dedicated knob for everything is NICE. I didn't actually know how many clicks it took, so I had to go find out. I can select 5 different presets with one mouse click. However it does take me 3 whole mouse clicks  to adjust attack speed. But of course with those three mouse clicks I can also adjust decay, hang and hang threshold, so you get a lot of value out of those 3 clicks
We have a local practical shooting group that meets every Monday night to train. You know what this argument reminds me of? When I was the very first guy to show up with a custom made, Kydex IWB holster (a Blade-Tech, back when they were all hand made). Oh. My. God. I was almost burned at the stake! All of those custom Alessi/Rosen/whatever-was-the-rage-back-then holster owners gave me unending shit. But look where holster trends are today, eh? Yeah, it's tough to be a technology pioneer, hanging there out over the bleeding edge, but us pioneers have thick skin, you know
