[SECC] Rig Recommendations for ~$500.00

[w4qo at amsat.org (Jim Stafford)]

JT,

I just opened up eHam.net classifieds and right near the top is a YAESU 
FT-840.  This is a fairly contemparary radio:

gigaparts shows it as discontinued but it's still on the web site so not 
gone long.

and it has computer control!
