Haha!!
I knew there would be a Newton's third law thing going to happen with my post!!
Controversial, yes, but fact...yes!!

Like it or leave it in my book!!

I dunno.... when they went from an analogue clock face watch.. to a digital watch face..... and then it actually had a calculator on board.... the world almost melted....
I’m not sure how many lives have been saved or lost people rescued with clocks but ok. Lol

Yeah, an AD by a communications company!
They are harping on about the band, HF. Not Ham Radio.
Fact is with the advent of the internet, communication is soo much easier, ergo, ham radio and it's operators on the decline... massively..
A digital format for Ham use could entice many new operators to not only set up a digi mode at home in their 10th floor apartment, but put an antenna on the car and see how 'real' ham radio works?
I am hearing ya @Jennifer no probs!!

Anyway, talking digital, my PSU and G90 arrived today!
Unbelievably, no rg58 pl259 plugs in town!! Cant be bothered going with RG213 so have to wait to get some wire in the air!

What kind of crazy amateur radio needs an antenna and can’t just plug into your internet connection to work, what century are you in man? LOL (just playing with you).

Getting the G90 ready for portable work.
The radio and battery fit nicely in the box and the JPC-12 packs away to nothing!

That's insane eh @Jennifer!!
I mean it's all cool for things to run on software, but the hardware has to be up to the task??!!
