Simple question. If you compare the BC785D(without the digital card) Vs.
BC796D (leave out the digital feature and knowing it costs a lot more) what are the differences that mean anything? I do see Trunk Tracker III in the 785 and Trunk Tracker IV in the 796. Is IV better than III. The reason I'm asking is I don't want to dish out the bucks for digital. I do want alpha tagging. Yet I don't want added none digital features left out that may be in the 796. Its funny how the more I narrow my search down, the more expensive it gets.
Again, I appreciate your comments.
