The 8000 was the bomb back in the day, my friend with the wall of jrc gear has one that even does the government modes denied to us commoners as he's a "station engineer" and conned universal or whoever sold it to him with some gov letterhead saying he was clean unlike the rest of us. I had a 600 and it made lovely faxes, wish I still had it - I've a fetish for old embassy/spy gear, but yes hard to go back to something that can't copy/paste. The only thing more revolutionary to hf radio than software decoders are sdr rigs far as I'm concerned.
