Thanks for the helpful replies people.
The head is spinning a bit re the jargon and many variables, guess it will all become more familiar over time, it really is a whole new ball game to me, and at my age I ain't as quick on my feet as I used to be.
Not sure where my use of the term novice came from Doug, seem to recall having heard it somewhere along the line, foundation certainly sounds a lot more dignified, have edited my OP to reflect the correct terminology, I imagine it won't be the last mistake I will make.
Re transceivers, much to consider, the knees were getting a bit wobbly when I checked the price of the IC-7300, glad I was seated when I did the same for the Yaesu FT991, I can certainly see the logic and benefits of both, now I have to endeavor to convince my better half of the same, may well be an uphill battle, my problem I guess.
As a matter of interest Doug, AMC have indicated that my call sign will be VK5WRJ though not yet confirmed.
Thanks again for your assistance.
