DR,
You have a valid point, except that I believe my radio has already beaten up your radio more than a few times!

This was mainly in response to other posters--not just one particular thread, but many--that I have come across who are uncomfortable buying a new brand of radio. Before buying my dx7, I searched and read all of the threads and it seams to be a common occurence in most of them--new company, new technology, I think I'll wait until one of the majors comes out with one. Or, I think I'll wait until it's been out for a while.

I certainly think it's the wave of the future. I wonder if people had the same concerns of going from AM to FM, and of going from analog to digital, and of storing planes instead of having multiple radios. I know a lot of old timers who still have a radio for each plane. Good stuff!
