Actually, I have a number of them:
* I bought my first T7F somewhen end of 2007. I gave it away because I could not get it running fine. It didn't have the optional control interface in front and was nothing but the transceiver board. Due to missing measurement equipment in combination of a lack of time, I had to state that I was not able to get it running. There are downsides of hobbys, and the lack of resources may kill one or another project from time to time. So I gave it away to some friends who might be more lucky to get it running.

* I bought my first T7F somewhen end of 2007. It was really broken. A friend put it into the garbage bin. So it was not only broken but also lost.  
* Almost a year later, end of 2008, I bought another T7F, this time with the LCD display in front. I'm not yet 100% clear what I will do with it, but since I have two other data transceivers, I will probably do some more experiments with 9k6 data links. The only thing that's still missing is another 9k6 modem.

* Almost a year later, end of 2008, I bought another T7F, this time with the LCD display in front. Since it came only with the display PCB and in all other terms "naked", I decided to build a nice case for it. There are some pictures below that illustrate the building phases.

* The third T7F also came naked. I also decided to build a case, this time using Erich Linsmeier's interface. [http://www.dl2rcg.de OM Erich Linsmeier DL2RCG]

* And my fourth T7F also came naked. I am still unsure what I'm going to do with it. Probably it will be a mobile TRX for the low speed data link.

* And yes, I got a fifth one. Naked. Previous owner DL6QS. Will be the last one I am buying.

1 The T7F with the original GUI from Holger DF2FQ

Here are some pictures with the T7F in a new case. The actual transceiver resides in the silver box. On the photographs you see the T7F user interface in the foreground.

2 The T7F with Erich's GUI

Erich's GUI came as a kit. It is an ATMEL based controller which is visible on the below images.
