Hi, morning Chris. Sounding excellent on DMR here in the Winnipeg area. Yeah, I do a little bit. No major regrets. I've had a lot of radios, though not as of late, but before the kids came, oh yeah, I went through a lot of radios. Yeah, minor disappointments of letting some stuff go. You mentioned the HR 2510, man I had quite a few of those over the years, and it's been probably 25 years since I owned one, but I had one in mint shape. All the mods done to it for everything, AM, receive, power, I mean everything. Fully aligned, the whole deal, and I should never have let it go. But, 703, with the 603, I mean, I've been six meters in it. I had that as a QRP radio, and I went through a phase of QRP radios with the 817 and some other models. But the 703 with the 6 meter, I wish I would have kept that. It was a fantastic receiver, better than the 706. I had multiple of those over the years, and had a built-in tuner. It was sweet little 10 watt radio, and Poda, you know, what it is today, it would have been a perfect Poda radio. No mess or fuss with external tuners and all the cables and all that, just drop that baby down. Yeah, it sucks a bit of power, but you know, put a bit size battery on it, you run all day on that thing. All in one solution, and it had a fantastic receiver. Like I said, better than the 706 Mark IIG. So I wish I would have kept that. It would have been an awesome little Poda radio. Not interested in the 705s and all that stuff out now. Other than that, yeah, not much to report from southeast Manitoba. I'm about 40 kilometers southeast. I want to thank you for going through DMR here. We'll let you go. Thanks for doing the net, and interesting topic today. Thanks. VE4 Charlie Alpha.
