lol, that's why I build my own computers, if I want something better I
upgrade it though the one I have now, doesn't have much room for upgrade and
I didn't realize it until I got everything in, 3 PCI slots is nowhere near
enough for me some times, I have 2 used now, was going to be 3 but I pulled
something out and went another way. I'm scaling back on radios here, going
to get a TS-2000 with all the bands in it and maybe a 706 for
mobile/portable, that way I don't have radios all over the place, it's nice
but I really don't have the room for that here set up in the corner of my
bedroom as I am now. I don't plan on moving any time son either, I'd like to
go to cape cod, but that looks very far in the future and we're putting a
lot of money in repairs to the house so I guess we'll stay another few
years. They're putting a roof on now ad I type this. I'll pay my bills then
get a TS-2000 next summer or fall and unload everything I have now most
likely then get the 706 and adapt the 2 meter/440 antenna jack for BNC so I
can take it out of the mobile fast and just use that for mobile and
portable/temporary and backup base and the TS-2000 will make a great base
for me.
