Yeh, seems all the OEM's misunderstood us.
We spoke of wireless knobs; they gave us knobless wires.

Ahaaa! I know that feeling. After 55 years of this, I agree..... these
knobless radios are a new trick for us old dogs. Let me make a
suggestion.... never buy a 706MKIIG, it's a button masher's paradise! Heck
of a versatile radio, DC to daylight, all mode etc but the menus and buttons
make you keep the operating manual on your knee.
Thanks for that observation about the VII. I have a VI opt 3 and a VI+ that
I just bought, and like very much. Now I won't waste time salivating about
an "upgrade!"
