Nah, Steve, your last suggestion is un-acceptable. (grinning here)
After all, it's way too early to relegate the TS480's to un-used boat-anchor
status, don't you think?
Besides, noone yet has come up with the ultimate rig that is just the right
size, has all the preferred bells and whistles, is totally blind friendly,
and transmits on all frequencies from DC to Day-light, and costs next to
nothing.
Then, maybe I'll think about putting the TS480's to bed, but, alas, I'm
dreaming!
