There are your rice boxes of which I have many (VHF / UHF and yes even an HF
unit. Then there are boat anchors of which I have the gold plated Collins types
and then there are the newer AMERICAN Made HF boxes of which we have TEN-TEC!
Call them what you will, they are all a lot of fun and nothing to get upset
about.
