I agree! Talk about styling. I don't think there is anything quite as =
ugly
looking as the Kenwood TS-2000 and the new TS-480. I think it's TS-480 =
but
didn't pay much attention because I don't intend to own one. I wonder =
who
designed the front panel layouts and enclosures?  Maybe the new rigs are
light years ahead in technology and performance but they sure look ugly =
to
me. The old Drakes have the looks AND work as good as they look.

the 7 line is like what the 50's auto designers thought future cars =
would
look like in the 90's!!!! Its like the Marko Shark Corvette! Instead the
future turned to be dull and drab and everything the same when it comes =
to
radios and cars. I don't think there was anything else that ever had the
space age look like the TR-7 and it looks like nothing else ever will!! =

You sound exactly like me about 3 years ago when I got my TR7A, never =
having
used one before.  It's a truly incredible rig, way ahead of its time, =
built
like a tank, is fixable, sounds great on both rx and tx, and just plain
looks good too, especially when you start adding all those look-alike
accessories.  You can't get a _station_ anymore like that!

I often think that someone's opinion of the best radio is the one that =
is
his favorite at the time of the statement. As much as I love the 4 line
especially the c-line I just got a properly working TR-7 and I tell ya =
as
far as the Drake stuff goes you can't beat it!  Dan
