You are welcome no problems.
I have the CRT 9900 and the 6900n both are good rigs.
I like front speaker rig's and that is why I bought the McKinley.
I put off buying the Grant 2 with news of the McKinley coming out and soon as It did I bought one. I accept the slight small display and it's messy control's but you get used to it.
One thing is that the transmitter audio can be a little low so maybe a power mic of some kind might help.
At today's prices I would want one but probably just find a second hand one as new the cheapest one is £265 but there's nothing like it on the market and I doubt another front speaker SSB rig will come to the UK

Thank you for the info, and the great explanation on your channel.
The McKinley is 325.00 here, quite expensive for what it is, a CRT7900 is about 295.00
from EU, more if imported from UK.

Blimey..... Knights have a used one for £229 if that helps.
I wish we never left the EU but that's the way it is
