Object lesson for Field Day! Our club, years ago, managed to pick up a couple TenTec 544 transceivers. (TT Triton 4, Digital) This is the optimum FD rig. Five FD bands, very functional, no bells or w

Enjoyed the long discussion on this topic. Unfortunately, one of the most popular rigs is the IC-706 series. Use of xmit BP filters is a must on these things if running multi, as in Field Day or cont
