New Contest Transceiver

W7is
After reading the owners manual on this new 7700
rig,  the only  thing I found unusual is the  
Auto Tune feature on both CW and  AM.    

Beside being large & heavy with no sub  receiver --  another  downer is
the 4 large  fans and the  potential to be very noisy like some of their
other gear.  

HRO is offering it on pre release special for  March.  If you
click on the rigs picture, it will provide you the  details.    
Its not too likely they will peddle very many of them unless
someone becomes awe struck by the Spectrum Scope.  
Lots of wiz bang --- if you get caught up in it  :-)

Re: New Contest Transceiver

It's like the automobile.  Same old dirty, greasy, loud internal combustion
engine under the hood, that's been around for over a hundred years.  The only
difference is the electronics like GPS navigation, DVD players, stereo
systems, etc.  Lots of lights and buttons but, it still does the same thing in
the same way...except now it costs a whole lot more to run.
