I'm glad to hear a Wicked Grapple is in your possession!
Ohhhhhh, it's gonna be a great one next weekend. :cool2:

Gotta give these guys some kind of visual of the Wicked Creature you speak of, because I'm sure they've never heard of one... :laughing:

Wow, I wouldn't have a clue what to do with that thing, but it sure looks cool.

Very nice, I知 still a bit behind but I have a TS2000 in my shack but as of now I知 in the process of putting up a new 10 - 80 dipole. Here is a old pick when I 1st got my TS.



I need a bigger tractor and a reason for a grapple but it would be nice if I decided to clear out my 5 acres of woods.

It is like "eating elephants" you start with one bite at a time. You can start by pressing the power switch on the upper left corner. The big knob changes frequency of the highlighted Receiver. We call that the VFO. There are two receivers, called main and sub, and one transmitter you can utilize with either. It is all pretty simple once you get started. The screen is a touch screen you can set up to look dozens of different ways and monitor all of the parameters and make adjustments to. You just start with the basics and add to you knowledge with the refinements. It is just like sitting in the seat of a modern "complicated" tractor. There are basic functions you must master first. (steering wheel, brakes etc.) and then you just keeping adding to your knowledge and understanding of the more sophisticated functions. I could have you operating that thing in half a day like a pro!.

As they say pictures or it didn't happen. It arrived intact and operational. First contact on voice was a guy in Slovenia S51DX.
digital interface and PC control tested out.

Pretty wild, man! I don't know about that 1/2 a day business, though. It looks pretty complicated. :laughing:

Half a day maximum. To explain concepts and show techniques. You could be talking on it in an hour. Yeah, I am that good of a teacher!. :laughing: Modest too!.
