How about Old Tube Rigs,
After participating in Field Day this past weekend, I dearly miss my
old Drake TR-4. No bells and whistles, no special filters etc.
But as an example, when I had it three stations could be on 40 at once
and that old Drake would care less.
The 40 cw station and the "Novice" (now GOTA) as well as a 40 SSB
station all could be on at once and never even know it.
This past weekend every station I visited all suffered from front end
overload.
the cw station could hear tyhe desencs from the ssb station on the same
band, and the ssb station sounded all the time like a backwards 2
merter aurora qso was happening.
It was horrid and shameful that a vintage 60's rig could out perform
rigs that cost ten times as much that are modern,
Tis Sad,, truly sad
