I have also noted that there is not any mention of the Delta ll's. Anyway I
have had mine for a couple of years and use it for DX'ing and contesting. I
agree that it's not complicated, I've had no problems with it except for a
close litening strike that blew out the control board. It's computer
controllable ( uses IC735 commands), so I'm building the 232 interface for
it. It's small, portable and does the job. I'd reccommend it over the Jap
stuff.
