Whelp, there goes the budget of what I was saving towards a new radio

I don't care much for either of their products, but I thought they had backed out of that.Netpackrat wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 8:15 pm How quickly we forget.

They definitely backpedaled and tried to distance themselves from it, but the "industry association" was effectively the lobbying arm of SA. Rock River OTOH seems to have been genuinely blindsided by what was being done in their name. IIRC the lobbyist in question insisted that he had been doing what he was hired to do.Vonz90 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 2:02 amI don't care much for either of their products, but I thought they had backed out of that.Netpackrat wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 8:15 pm How quickly we forget.

Re: Everything Old Is New Again, I guess
That is the downside to Springfield at the moment. I'd still like to get one but I have a more pressing need for a tuner and digital ham radio setup.

For digital you already have everything you need, unless you need a computer:
Setting up an IC-7100 for FT-8

If it'll work with WSJT-X for FT-8 it will work with FLDIGI for other digital modes (including RTTY) and WinLink (HF and VHF/UHF)

You ham radio nuts need to keep that shit in your own thread.
Edit to add; or I will tell you all about the Chandler duplex boring head I bought off Ebay recently.

700 bucks for a Turkish High power?
How much is a clean Browning branded going for that this is a viable price/quality point?
