Congratulations! Some people like to stay at tech or general, I was a
general for a long time before I upgraded and I know people that have been
Advanced for a long time and some say they'll stay there. It's all in what
you want to do, me, I'm pretty proud of my extra. You get on the air, and
everything you use, do and are interested in will come to you and the radio
will as well. I don't think I ever had sighted help with my TH-F6A with
anything on it. You'll be very happy with it I'm sure. Again,
congratulations, have fun.
