Amen

I am still using a Gold Box Futaba, bought in 1987. Had to buy new, my Blue Max's from the 70s were on freq's no longer legal.

I mostly use my 6EXA. Am getting a new 6EXAS to have two almost identical radios. Plenty of features.

Just because something is newer and better, does not mean it is necessary for everyone.
