Too bad about the 7k. I had a Pro for awhile in the shack while I was taking my "radio journey" as i call it. They are good rigs, and pretty popular for sure. I'm just not that into "eye candy", altho the scope is nice, I just wasn't that into it. But I think the main reason is I like bigger radios for the shack. The Pro is pretty small as a base, which makes all the knobs and stuff even smaller. It's just a matter of preference tho.
Good luck....

Well today I received 10 Mix 31 split beads from DX Engineering, .525" I.D. I put one on each of the three short ignition wires (the driver's side ones), and one at each end of the long wires (the passenger side ones). So I used 9 beads. This suppressed the ignition noise about 2 S-units on 40 meters. So maybe S-7 rather than S-9. So there you go. Worth the $50? Nope. Fun to experiment with this stuff, though.
