Howdy...
I thought I might actually operate a contest for a change, and was
getting some stuff together this past weekend in anticipation of the
IARU, when I discovered my ol' reliable TS440 has apparently passed
on.
So, I'm thinking about getting another radio. My main rig is an FT-
990. My first thought is to get another 990, as I'm happy with that
rig...but they're OOP and aging. I do like that they're <1000 bucks.
What new mid-level rigs are going to work as well? - primarily
interested in how they perform for RX in a contest environment
obviously!
How about the Icom 746pro? Has anyone used this rig in a contest?
I don't really want to stretch the budget to 2000, but I could...what
other recent rigs should I consider?
Thanks,
Lee
