FB Al. Glad your 847 is a good one. Yep, it's true that there are
differences between same-model rigs as they roll off the line. Perhaps
the one we used was a bit flaky.
And I certainly don't claim my comments on the radio as gospel -- in
fact, I will gladly disclaim them as petty nit-picky opinion, yes!
Despite my report of a poor contest experience with the rig, I really
like the 847. It's a very versatile and capable radio for the price.
If I was in the market for such a rig, I wouldn't dismiss it despite my
comments.

I'd make the same poor selectivity comments about the '706. But again,
versatility to price, it's a handy rig. Certainly not the most ideal
contest radio.
