I have to 100% agree with you, hence the reason why I have started to look into 1.4GHz as well. My only problem is I am studying to further my existing qualifications as a Radio Technician doing and Electronics and Communication Degree and have really limited time available. I am also battling severe sleep apnoea too and have been temporarily prohibit driving and staying awake grrrr. At least I have my first appointment this week to get it resolved. My health frustrations as starting to get me babbling sorry.
This semester start next week and will start 3rd year course in Electromagnetics. Well in my line of interest.
I am really hankering for test gear and one of my greatest ambitions is a decent spectrum analyser but even though they are cheaper, they are still very expensive on a students income and my wifes disability support pension.
I also have to deal with my wife not understanding what I need. She looks at my current gears and quizzes why? Her disability makes it difficult to explain to her

I wish my AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language) was a level 4 which doesn't exist in Australia.
