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

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.
