- OK, here's the scoop. I have about $1000 to spend on a new toy. Right now I am running a TS-450SAT as my main radio and a FT-840 as the 2nd radio--no amp in the shack (sure miss it sometimes). What w

- I agree about the antenna. And if you can buy an Alpha then more power to ya. Literally. But for $500 you can buy a Heathkit SB-220. Like many older amps it comes from the days when power was rated i

- I don't know about the FT840, but the TS4x0 is really a lousy contest radio. The worst part is the noisy synthesizer, and if you overdrive in AFSK...gawd! Instead of running high power, get a couple
