So you admit you don't know how to use said radio?

Okay, again I'm getting (as a gift if I want it) a Icom M-700 SSB radio.
Believe it or not, I don't just accept an expensive gift just because it's
"expensive."
This summer we have to trips planned and there will be plenty of daysails,
but
not the kind of cruising associated with an SSB requirement. My question
is: Is
this still a worthwhile radio to have on board? Can I chat with people
far-off
for the sake of chatting, as in Ham or CB SSB?
I already have the VHF and also a new 10 meter with 11 meter conversion
aboard.


Thanks for any help!

Which radio? I own a VHF, AM SSB and a Voyage 10 meter.

Give it up loser, nobody believes you, nobody cares.



Come on Scotty, We are all facinated with Bobspirts camera, We all can
not wait to hear what fine expensive first class none better
outstanding camera bobby was given, for if we did not know what camera
he got how can we be just like him if we purchace an inferior camera
that is not up to his standards. I must admit I Supersized his camera
picture and made a poster of it. I sit and stare at it all day with
awe. How can someone be so lucky as bobspirt as to be given such a
superdelux, superfine, superspectular camera as that. And that yellow
water proof case is the topping on his cake. It must of cost a
gizzilion dollars to the superwise noble scholar that chose this fine
gift for bobby. And that case just think how important you would look
on the dock carring that case, what can you say besides WOW and
Ohhhhhhhhh myyyy goodnessssss. Im soooooo impressed that Id rush out
and buy one if only I were as rich as him and could afford one.
Well...... at least I have his post to admire and inspire me.

As for me, I have no need or desire for such a camera. All that focus
and high resolution would be a curse for those of us who don't sail
with starlets and supermodels. Personally, I rarely wish to have any
photos to remind me of my decrepit vessel or the occasional deformed
hag that stumbles onto my boat. In fact, even without pictures, I
sometimes drink heavily to forget. Why would I want perfect photos to
remind me? I look forward with eager anticipation to the numerous
pictures Bob posts of one of the girls at the wheel or his home
theatre. It will be almost like being there!

10 meters is an amateur radio frequency and you'll have to have a ham
license to operate there.

There is a
large network of hammies around the world that would just love to
deliver your message to any given vessel anywhere in the world.

What about the use of 10 meter aboard?

I'm aware of that and will have the Tech. license shortly. But what type of use
might I get out it aboard? I bought it mainly for it's 11 meter SSB, to use
with out SSB Cherokee handheld.

If I have to explain the term "said radio" to you, I don't think I am able
to help you with your radio.

Don't you all wish you could afford the expensive boats, cameras and
electronics I purchase every year. I throw out better stuff than all of you
purchase in your lifetimes. It's great to be me. I think I'll stay home
tonight and count all the cameras and breasts in my apartment.

Huh? You've never purchased an expensive boat! ... neither have I.....
Even Oz hasn't purchased an expensive boat.


The funny thing is that Oz's cheap boats cost at least five times your cheap
boat.


[check headers] Duh!


Never mind. I'll respond anyway. I enjoyed the rant.

Instead of throwing it out, why don't you donate it
to a worthy cause... e.g., battered women's shelter
for used cell phones, etc.
