One of the reasons I belong to this group is the experience and expertise
of the operators on here. I have a question about my next step, in terms
of radios. This is not necessarily a 160m question, but it does affect
Topband.
I currently have FT-950 Yaesu. Upgraded through some horse trading from
TS-690s. Love the DSP and having 100w on 6m.
I need better coverage on VHF, so am considering older ICom (746 non-pro)
or TS-2000. Have even looked a the Icom 9100 though it is a bit pricey.
If I replace the FT-950 with one of these rigs (I'm leaning TS-2000) I
would have these criteria.
1) Maintain or improve DX capabilities on HF 160-10m
2) Add separate receive antenna jack for receiving loop or beverage
3) Add 2m and 432 with a transverter friendly rig.
If I can't get decent DX coverage with one of these, I'd have the option of
keeping the FT-950 and getting the 746 or a used TS-2000
Here's my main question . . . are any of you TopBanders using TS-2000 as
your primary HF Dxing rig?
Thanks in advance, and 73,
Trent
