Hello all,
I am Michelle,WW7F. I have been considering buying a Yaesu FT 817 or Nd model,
I know it is a qrp rig but I would appreciate any feedback from users/owners, I
am looking for that or maybe an IC706mk2g, but heard it is not good on upper
bands, broad and deaf some have told me, same re the FT100d, no ft100 many
issues I understand with it, FT 857 but I wanted primarily something to take
with me, IMO better than an HT in some cases ,anyhow I am open to advice and
any offers of rigs, maye there is one you know of and I don't, just would
appreciate some good advice form you all,this is my first posting to this group
though I have been a subscriber for a few years:) Thanks all for your time and
I hope you forgive my rambling, I am recovering from a concussion, kind of hard
lately to explain what I need or want,VY73 all, Sincerely,Michelle WW7F> From:
