Eric
Aren't you happy that with radios it isn't a case of "one size fits all"?
I am very pleased you have found the right equipment for your needs. I have
been lucky to do that too. I sold my FT1000MP MkV once I had taken delivery
of my second Orion.
Orion + Alpha 87A and Orion + Acom 1000. No RF feedback, no keyclicks.
Just great performance.
I love my Orions.
Horses for courses!
